    Located on the west coast of the southern region of Bali, to the north of Kuta and south of Umalas, Seminyak Beach is relatively quiet during the day. Its cool, sunny and breezy ambience provides a great place for hanging out with your friends, kite flying, sunbathing or swimming. 

    Be sure to check the red flags displayed by lifeguards indicating a ‘No-Swim Zone’ before you jump into the ocean, though. Surfing in certain areas of the beach is allowed and you can rent boards at the beach for the same price as in Kuta.

    Petitenget Temple is Seminyak’s central cultural landmark. Known as Pura Petitenget in the local tongue, the centuries-old temple is a must-see and really comes to life during its festive 210-day anniversaries. The name of the street that runs parallel to the beach is actually taken from the temple. The namesake Petitenget Beach is only a few steps away from the temple, where visitors and locals enjoy the best spots to share in the gorgeous sunset moments.

    Another temple sits beside the main courtyard, named Masceti Ulun Tanjung Temple. Local villagers pray here for protection against famine and disease.

    Double Six Beach is a half-kilometre stretch of golden-white sand that’s part of the whole length of Seminyak Beach. The beach connects the northernmost strip of Legian (Blue Ocean Beach) to Seminyak’s southernmost beachfront at The Oberoi Bali resort (often referred to simply as Oberoi Beach). 

    Part of Jalan Double Six (also known as Jalan Arjuna) runs parallel the beach. One of Legian’s main beachside streets, it’s lined with hip bars and restaurants.

    Echo Beach is one of Bali’s most popular surf spots. The nickname – taken from the beach club there – overshadows its local name of Pantai Batu Mejan, after the significant Balinese Hindu sea temple nearby.

    Echo Beach has become one of the most popular of the nearby beaches because of its advanced reef breaks, 180-degree seascape and sunsets. There’s also an array of delicious seafood cafés set on a high vantage point, from where to enjoy it all. The beach is clean and well-kept, and it’s a great place to chill with a laid-back vibe, great views, and delicious seafood.

    Berawa Beach is situated in Canggu, about 5 km from the hub of Seminyak. The beach is windy and fairly clean, with light-brown sand and is also home to the largest lagoon along the Canggu coastline.

    It’s an interesting spot for surfing and is especially good if you’re looking to avoid the crowds. That same quietness also makes it a good place for meditation, yoga and horse riding. Here, you can witness the daily life of typical fishermen who catch fish from their traditional boats, as well as enjoying peaceful sunsets from the nearby bars and chill-out spots.

    Petitenget Beach is named after an ancient temple nearby. It’s one of Bali’s quieter beaches, despite being quite easy to reach, since it’s located in a tranquil neighbourhood. The grey sand creates a mysterious look and the peaceful atmosphere has made it into an alternative hideout venue from the crowds, where you can swim, sunbathe, jog, meditate or meander along the waterfront before sunset.
