Double Six Beach is one of the most popular beaches in Seminyak, named after a nightclub. In the daytime, this beach is perfect for swimming and learning how to surf. The beach is wide with soft golden sands and there are cafes as well as local beach stalls to get food and drinks. Around 4 pm, Double Six Beach transforms into a picture-perfect postcard from Bali. This is the time when the beach bars get out their bean bags and parasols in all the colours of the rainbow. It’s the classic Seminyak image that you’ll see on the covers of travel magazines. Sit back with a coconut or a tropical cocktail and wait for sunset to strike. It’s magical!
La Plancha has cool DJ’s and sometimes even themed parties that last until midnight. Other bars have acoustic live music to create the perfect ambience for the twilight hours. Kids play in the sand and run around on the shore. Lovers gaze at the sunset. Everyone is trying to take that perfect Bali sunset photo. It’s lively, colourful and wonderful. You just have to experience it for yourself.
