Crowded Beach of Petitenget

Seminyak has become the up market heart of Bali. here you will find a slightly quieter pace than Kuta and Legian and the home of fine dining, boutique shopping and trendy bars. the area is popular with the European crowd and offers luxury villas and 5 star hotels. Seminyak Beach continues along from Legian heading away from the airport and is where you will find the famous Ku De Ta, La Luchiola and  Oberoi.

Villas & Bungalos Are Easily Found

Petitenget is Seminyak's little sister located just next door and has cute cafes and shops. further along heading away from the Beach are the areas of Umalas and Kerobokan. here you will find beautiful private Villas and a more traditional feel, whilst still being only 5-10 minutes away from the heart of Seminyak.
along from Petitenget is the quaint area of Batu Belig (that we have been). as Seminyak spreads along the coast, the shops and restaurants have now reached this neighboring village. there is still a semi-rural traditional feel to this area but its close enough to the action & even has some of its own destinations now. 

Petitenget won't allow foreigners to sunbath or swim as it's sacred to the Balinese and it's just in front of a temple area. they often have ceremonies here and don't want to find any disrespect to be shown. there are signs which ask you not to sunbath so it's pretty obvious but sometimes people don't see signs even if they are big. sometimes in the evening you can buy barbequed corn on the cob. get drinks and food from the little wagons that are set up. a corn on the cob costs 50 cents.  

because this area has a temple on it, you'll find more sellers and locals. they often spend time here on the weekend. if you want to swim or surf, this place obviously won't suit you in..
