Salt Makers of Kusamba

Kusamba Beach is one of East Bali’s many tranquil black-sand beaches. If you're heading to east Bali it's worth a visit and see the traditional small-scale salt farms, which date back almost 1,000 years. The farms are run by the local villagers who also make their living from fishing. On clear mornings the local fishermen go about their daily routines, preparing their nets and working together to haul their jukung (wooden outriggers) out to sea. Meanwhile, another group will usually be busy harvesting salt at plots nearby.
