Legian and Padma Beach Area

Padma Beach lies at the end of Jalan Padma in Legian, the stretch of coast between Kuta and Seminyak. It is busy enough to have plenty of restaurants and beach bars but noticeably calmer than central Kuta. A paved beach path runs north through Legian and Double Six to Seminyak, ideal for a sunset walk.

Like the rest of this coast, the beach faces west and gets strong surf. Swim between the lifeguard flags and watch out for rip currents.

Getting There

The airport is about 20 minutes away by car. Kuta's shops and Beachwalk mall are a short walk south, and Seminyak's restaurants are 10 to 15 minutes north by taxi. Ride-hailing apps and taxis are easy to find on the main Legian street.

Good to Know

Beanbag bars set up along the sand in the late afternoon; arrive early for a front-row sunset seat.
Legian has a wide range of mid-range hotels, often better value than Seminyak.
Tanah Lot temple is about an hour away for a sunset trip.
