One of the main reasons tourists make the trip to Seminyak is to explore its amazing beaches. While Seminyak does have several strips of beach, the village is best known for two beaches; Seminyak Beach and Echo Beach. Seminyak Beach is considered to be Bali's premier beachfront with many of Seminyak's top clubs, bars and restaurants located overlooking this pristine beach. Despite its beauty, the waters of the beach are rough, which is why only advanced surfers and divers should attempt to surf or dive here. The beach, on the other hand, is great for all manner of activity, including horse riding. Echo Beach is, hands down, the surfing hub in Seminyak. Although gaining popularity very recently, the beach has rapidly gained a reputation for its powerful waves and swells. Thus, Echo Beach is ideally only for advanced surfers. But that doesn't mean you can't go and have some fun on the beach or swim in the shallow waters!
