We were they 18mths ago and the beach was the same. It was only temporary. The first 10 days it was terrible in the water all along Kuta Pantai. We kept getting plastic bags wrapped around our legs etc. Apparently, there was some heavy rain just before we got there and the drainage system couldn't handle it and the rubbish overflowed into the sea. At the same there was a string onshore (sea to land) wind that was keeping all the rubbish on the coast. We woke up on about the 11th day and the wind had changed direction and the beach was crystal clear for the next 10 days until we left.
