Beaches in Kerobokan
- Petitenget Beach (beach). Petitenget Beach is the northern continuation of Seminyak Beach, a wide stretch of sand in front of the Pura Petitenget sea temple, large hotels and beach clubs. It is a little less crowded than the beaches farther south, with room for long walks north toward Batu Belig. Waves and rip currents can be strong and lifeguards are not always on duty, so swim between the flags where they are set and stay out when the sea is rough; temple ceremonies sometimes bring processions down to the sand.
