Candidasa, on Bali, was one of my favorite places on the island. It's developed with several small-ish hotels and lots of restaurants, but not over-run with tourists. This lagoon (a former bay now cut off from the sea) is at the center of the northern area of the town.

From the archives: Lotus flower in the lagoon at Candidasa, Bali, around 2010. Freshly bloomed lotus flower.
