    Beautiful food
    Such a superb menu with a large range to suit all tastes. We both had fish dishes, one served in a mild curry, the other served Belgian style, enjoyed with a glass of top quality Margaret River wine at a budget price. Loved it...and the great cheerful service and ambience. Lovely quiet location away from traffic.

    This is an evening beach to fly kites, throw a frisbee or laze around on.
    Although not safe to swim, this lovely area is typical of many beaches around Indonesia and Thailand. There’s always beach cushions and seats available while one has a drink. But, be careful of being bitten. Cover your lower back and thighs. There’s sand fire ants and possibly bedbugs in the beach cushions.

    A fantastic beach experience
    Seminyak beach is simply superb however prices are higher for everything compared to Kuta beach. There is a certain air of quality on this beach and the food in beachside cafes and bars is also of a superior quality. Staff are very competent and very very helpful in this area. Prices do reflect the quality of service and food. Beach sellers here are much more respectful and don’t pressure sell or continue to pester you.

    Seminyak Beach - not a particularly pleasant experience.
    Seminyak Beach is described as white sand - it is not! The sand is grey volcanic and, unfortunately, littered with debris from the hundreds of people who congregate on the beach, especially at the weekend. It is, however, a great spot for watching sunsets.

    Breathtaking experience
    Breathtaking and surreal views. The waves, sky and weather were stunning and watching the sunset was an amazing experience. The beach was tranquil and it was quiet at this time of year. We got to spend a lot of time bonding on the sun loungers during our honeymoon here. Coconut water was my favourite drink of the year because it was simply delicious.

    A weekend at the beach
    I have mixed feelings about this beach. The people that live and work at the beach and the surrounding area couldn't be more friendly and welcoming. However I don't know weather the time of year i visited (march) was the reason for a strong smell of sewage. The beach was also littered with rubbish and you could see the local people picking it up on a regular basis. The sea was clear and warm and was a surfers paradise. Sunsets were amazing and the food I had in the restaurants was some of the best around.

    Mixed Feelings
    Being an Aussie, I hold my beach experiences to a high standard. The positives: a welcoming atmosphere with pleasantly warm water (I only dipped my toes in), an array of shops and restaurants nearby for a picturesque sunset meal, and a relaxed vibe ideal for sunbathing. On the downside: constant vendors approaching as soon as you stop, debris and glass scattered on the beach making barefoot walks a bit hazardous, and the inconvenience of navigating around resorts that obstruct beach access. We limited our visits to just one stroll, opting for the safety of the hotel pool. This spot isn't the best for seeking peace and quiet.

    Nice place to hangout
    Beautiful scenic beach. Not only you can visit beach but enjoy nightlife nearby and watch different live concerts. Mostly I liked to sit on bean bags and eat pizza. Undoubtedly, pizzas in Bali is very delicious. However here prices for food little bit higher than other beaches.

Stayed in Seminyak for 5 days. Visited the beach three times and very disappointed with the amount of plastics on the beach..never been anywhere and seen such an amount of plastics from high to low water. Tourists actually walking along picking up all the debris. There are tractors on the beach raking the sand but not picking up and debris. Find it hard to believe that the tourist board/government allow tourists to swim and paddle amongst this filth. The amount tourism brings to Bali then take some of your tourists money and pay local people to pick up the rubbish... the amount of rubbish on the beach depends upon rainfall flooding the rivers and taking it down to settle on the beaches. Anyone going in the sea comes face to face with the rubbish pity help any other unseen nasties are in the water...... expect a tourism tax to be incurred if action taken to clean up.

Nice sunsets, but when you look a little deeper, the beach is awash with plastic and ruccish that washes in. There are local dogs patrolling the beach, and while they don't interfere with you, they do leave their calling cards. The locals embrace tourists but the touters are also pests - no such thing as a quiet walk along the beach

During my Jan 2020 visit to Bal, we stayed in Seminyak and went to Seminyak each couple of times for the sunsets. Sunsets are beautiful, but it gets crowded and might come in the way of you enjoying a good sunset. the beach is not great for swimming as the waves could be be huge. there are good beach side restaurants where you can enjoy the sunset, like La plancha and Champlung.

The beach was a lot nicer than i expected. The water is warm and shallow with a decent surf. You would have to walk out quite a bit to get deep into the water.
The best part about this is the Sunset View, it's absolutely breathtaking.

Once you go past Legian beach you are on Seminyak Beach.

There are also some high end hotels on the vicinity and I noted that it was less busier here.

A nice place to have a stroll, popular with surfers and it was relatively clean.

Great place to watch sunset, get some cold ones and chill with your partner. It was almost empty due to pandemic time, but as we read usually its very busy, especially for sunset time. Beach is very long, sand is nice and waves were to too big as in Kuta beach. Definitely will recommend to all my friends!

After hearing so much about Bali my wife and i visited January 2020. What a disappointment. While the sunsets are great with lots of bars serving sundowners the beach itself sucks. While many beaches are now proud owners of similar tar ball issues to also have the stinky sewer lines draining onto the beach is a big disappointment.

Purposely chose Seminyak beach of all places in Bali for my trip as I wanted to learn surfing (first timer) and heard the food/drinks options are great. It was the right decisions. The beach was beautiful, lively but not so crowded. Many drink stalls along the main stretch of the beach (near La Plancha) which also rented out beach chairs for you to sit down and the staff were always ready to tell a tales or two to entertain you. The surfing booths were everywhere but not all of them are reputable so do your research before hand. Swimming is possible but try to void those places with warning flag and those with a lot of surfers.

Seminyak beach is amazing. Totally comparable to most famous Caribbean and and Dominican Republic beaches! We toured many beaches in Bali and Seminyak is the best in my judgement for a few reasons

1) it is Flat!
2) It is hard enough to run on and walk for miles and miles!
3) The expanse of the beach area is very large and can accommodate thousands!
4) Accessibility is easy, convenient and safe but subject to where you are staying.
5) Night time brings amazing g life to the beach areas and restaurant scene.
6) Safety with most areas lit up.

Seminyak beach is a truly beautiful stretch of beach.
At sunset, to sit and "see the day out", with or without a sundowner in the hand, is really fantastic.
The water is nice and the waves even more so.
However, the beach is littered with plastic bags and what not, eventhough the local authority has frequent motorised beach cleaning throughout the day. It is such a pity!
