Seminyak Beach
Beach in Seminyak (South Bali).
Seminyak Beach is the wide sandy shore in front of Seminyak, part of the long beach on Bali's west coast that runs from Kuta north past Petitenget, backed by beach clubs, bars and hotels. People come in the late afternoon to surf, walk and watch the sunset. The waves and rip currents can be strong, so swim only between the red-and-yellow lifeguard flags.
