Close to the action but far enough for some down time, Legian still retains something of its village atmosphere and is easy to walk around. Good shopping, restaurants and, while nightlife is not so frantic, Legian does have its own entertainment scene around Jalan Gado-Gado.
SUNSET LEGIAN is an no-holds barred beach where locals, expatriates and tourists mingle, bargain with the best, play paddle ball and football, indulge in a massage and manicure, catch up on reading, meditate, exercise, you name it.
The two camps are easily recognised; the workers have as many clothes on as possible and the bules (westerners) wear as little as possible and the bules (westerners) wear as little as possible. Be prepared for scantily clad Brazilians, G-stringed Italians, coppertoned Germans, Australians in designer surf gear and pretty Indonesian girls in multi-platform sandals-it is the united nations of beaches. Sunset is peak time at Sunset Legian, when the beach bars fill up, the football field is at its busiest and the locals knock off work and wade fully clothes, skirts swirling, into the waves.
