A recently installed sand-fronted walkway takes you to Kuta by foot or bicycle, and the plan is to extend this to Seseh and beyond.

Surfing Seminyak caters to both novices and seasoned surfers. With its sandy bottom and absence of corals, reefs, or rocks, Seminyak Beach is a world-class beginner surf paradise.
