Fun in the Sun at Legian Beach
Legian Beach is definitely one of Bali’s most fun beaches, especially at sunset time! Legian is the area that stretches between Kuta and Seminyak and is easily identifiable for the many deck chairs and umbrellas that line the beach.

Known for having a great beginner and body boarding wave , surf lessons and board rental are easy to arrange on the beach with one of the local beach bar operators. Our favourite surf lessons come from the boys at My Bar, which is located on the beach directly in front of the Legian Beach Hotel main beach entrance. We’ve even put a Bali Buddies umbrella there to help you find it! These boys will deliver fabulous one on one surfing lessons and definitely have the coldest Bintangs on the beach!
For the non-water lovers Legian Beach can be a lot of fun for you too. In fact it can also be a place to do all of your shopping without having to move! You will find everything on sale here – DVDs, makeup, clothing, wooden items, sunglasses, watches, kites and more!
Come sunset time the beach is packed and the sunsets are spectacular. There is a lot of food on offer from local dishes, fresh fruit platters, delivery from the many nearby restaurants, fairy floss and of course an abundance of cold drinks.
TIP: refrain from getting any of the temporary henna tattoos as they’ve been known to use imitation henna, which can leave scarring on the skin.
If you are not staying close by get a GRAB driver to drop you at the end of Jalan Melasti, head down on to the beach and all of the action of Legian is to your right.
