Overview of Legian

Lying on the western shore of the isthmus leading to Badung Peninsula is the famous Kuta Beach,which has earned a reputaion as a bach paradise and attracts surfers,swimming and sunbathers of all ages and nationalities

The white sands of Kuta are still arguably the best beachfront on Bali. The beach is much cleaner than just a few years ago, although the vendors remain annoying. Kuta is not the fishing village it once was: it is now a booming Pacific resort and its streets are clogged with tourists and traffic during peak seasons. Legian is a bit quieter, less crowded, and more suitable for longer stays, although in many ways it has become an extension of Kuta. Further north, Seminyak, Petitenget and Canggu offer more tranquility.
