Double Six Beach, with its array of beachfront restaurants, shops, bars, and clubs and proximity to the action and excitement of Legian & Seminyak central, is the perfect place for your holiday in Bali.
Double Six Beach is located between Kuta and Seminyak and runs for about 500 metres. Legian Beach at sunset is a magnet for tourists, expats, and local Balinese who come here between 3 pm and 8 pm to watch this amazing show.
What happens here is that the bars along the beachfront ( and there are about a dozen of them) all take bean bags, and this is where most people congregate. It can be madness with the music and the crowds, but this is overshadowed by the show that nature puts on. Have a look at the video below to get an idea of how popular the beach is just around sunset time.
You should also note that this area is also known as Padma Beach, so if you are coming here in a taxi, you might want to mention this name as well. Having said that, the place is so popular that all you have to say is Double Six Beach, and everyone will be able to point you in the right direction.
For holidaymakers, Double Six Beach is also a great place to surf. The waves are fairly easy here, and it is patrolled. Unlike other parts of Bali, where the bottom is a reef, making it dangerous for swimmers and surfers, Double Six Beach is all sand, so it is relatively safer. Still, take caution!
Families coming to Double Six Beach.
For families coming to Bali, Double Six Beach is perfect for renting a daybed and spending the day here sun baking, getting one of the old ‘Ibus’ (ladies) to give you a massage or perhaps buy that sarong you have always wanted from the hordes of vendors who ply their trade up and down the beach strip.
If you’re feeling peckish at lunch, there are lots of cafes and restaurants just across the road where you can take the family for a cheap and cheerful (yet really delicious) meal. Because this is a seriously popular location, they cater to all tastes and will have kiddies’ meals such as the typical hamburgers and pizzas.
