Tejakula is a village (desa) and a district (kecamatan) in Buleleng regency, northern Bali, Indonesia. It stands on the north-eastern coast of the island.[1]

Villages[edit]

Tejakula district has 10 administrative villages:[2]

  • Bondalem
  • Julah
  • Les
  • Madenan
  • Pacung
  • Penuktukan
  • Sambirenteng
  • Sambiran
  • Tejakula (desa Tejakula)
  • Tembok

Along the coastal road from north to south are Bangkah, Pacung, Julah, Bondalem, Desa Tejakula, Les (half-mile south of the road), Penuktukan, Sambirenteng and Tembok. Sambiran is 2 km south of Pacung and Madenan is 7 km south-west of desa Tejakula.[3]

Les[edit]

Les has an area of 769 hectares ; its coastal area spans 135 hectares and its beach is 2 km long. It used to have narural coral reefs and those have been destroyed by unsustainable fishing with explosives (and poison). This, and the subsequent disappearance of sea life, has negatively impacted traditional fishing and coral harvesting. After the evaluation of 19 sites, in 2019 one was chosen to instal spider frame modules at depths of 6 and 10 meters on the seabed and 88 coral fragments of Acropora loripes implanted on them.[4]

Sambiran[edit]

Sambiran traditionnally produces hand-woven cotton cloths, used as traditional festive clothing.[5]
