    It turns out paying double for a location doesn&apos;t buy you a cleaner ocean or better beachfront! 🌴 To the regular travellers to bali—do you agree that the southern end closer to Legian is the ultimate Seminyak sweet spot, or do you prefer the resort bubble further north? Let me know below! 👇 <br>For the first-timers, if you want to see the exact baseline costs for food, drinks, and beach loungers that I compared today, make sure to grab last week&apos;s Legian guide here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNa3JaGtCkY">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNa3JaGtCkY</a>

    Give me Legian any day anywhere south of La Plancha.<br>We stayed in Seminyak on Jl Petitingat last year and spent so much time in cabs coming back to Legian. The beach bars in Legian are much friendlier. Thanks great video 😊

    I agree with you about Seminyak it’s got really good eateries but so to Legian. I stayed in Seminyak while it was on the more expensive side it is affordable enough not as affordable as Legian. For I chose Legian everyday of the week

    Couldn&apos;t agree more on the beach comparison. Seminyak beach is great for walking, Legian beach is superior for staying, playing and sunset drinks.

    G&apos;day Scott and thanks for the latest walkabout talkabout. I much prefer the rough and tumble of owner operator beach bars in Kuta, rather than feeding the corporate machine. I certainly don&apos;t need regimented recliners and bean bags. Cheers from Tuban.

    The step counter would be clicking over after that walk 🏃🏼‍➡️. On the beach red flags may be out but did you see any ‘life guards’ ? Another good exposé for the Bali traveller Scotty and agree there are those that give you stick for telling it as it is.

    I believe the best area is south of La Plancha

    Get real man it&apos;s not the same middle class mix with middle class &nbsp;and Sanur is for the older class and Changyu is for the younger class

    La Plancha is overrated. &nbsp;Best to go to one of the bars next door and pay 35K for a beer

    Before seminyak there was just Legion after Kuta! Then there was Changgu, I have no interest in both places! Both are Coffee shop snob smoothy bowl pretend Gym junkie over priced paradise for those who have no idea how Bali was and can still be! First of yearly trips 1987-88. When I first went Double 6 or Gado Gado it was a dirt road &nbsp;only the adventurous went to for an authentic club that Balinese and Indos went to on a Weekend.

    We prefer to stay around Jalan Arjuna as you get the best of both worlds. Easy walk into Seminyak and or Legian.<br><br>PS not the nicest day to show off Seminyak 😂
