About Double Six Beach
Double Six Beach sits at the boundary of Legian and Seminyak, named after the famous Sixty Six area at its southern end. It is a wide stretch of golden-grey sand that fills up in the afternoon with locals and travellers, beach footballers, and sunset crowds. The wave is a beach break that suits beginners and improvers on the right day.
The beach is known for its row of bars and beanbags, with a relaxed but social atmosphere that bridges the polish of Seminyak and the bustle of Kuta. As the sun drops, the beanbag spots and bars get busy.
Like its neighbours, it is a developed urban beach with currents to respect, so it is more about the scene and the sunset than swimming or seclusion.
Getting there
Double Six is a short distance north of Kuta and walkable from much of Legian and lower Seminyak via beach access lanes. Scooters, Gojek, and Grab reach it easily. Parking near the beach entrance is paid and tight around sunset.
Best time
Late afternoon into sunset is the social high point, with bars, beanbags, and beach games in full swing. Mornings are quieter for a walk or a surf, and the dry season brings cleaner sunsets.
Good to know
Beanbags and daybeds at the bars usually come with a minimum spend, while the open sand is free. Swim only in flagged areas because of rip currents, and keep your belongings close on the crowded beach.
