Even with plenty of tourists around, there's an unmistakably relaxed pace here—the kind of place that makes it easy to forget your everyday routine.
Here are two of the best ways to enjoy sunset at Double Six Beach.
Head further toward Seminyak and you'll find La Plancha, the beach bar famous for its colorful umbrellas. Go toward Legian instead, and you'll reach Padma Beach, popular with surfers.
This guide covers the area to the left of Double Six Beach, facing the ocean.
The walking path A walking path now runs along the beach, making it far easier to stroll around than it used to be.
1. Sunset at a Beachfront Bar
About a 6-minute walk left from the Double Six Beach entrance (marked by the monument mentioned earlier) is Lance's Beach Bar.
The Atmosphere
Plenty of solo visitors too Bean bag seating alongside regular tables Lance's Beach Bar is a laid-back beach bar right on Double Six Beach, serving both drinks and food.
There are plenty of other beach bars around, but I picked this one for its covered counter seats and cute atmosphere.
Counter seating that shelters you from rain and wind
The Counter Sudden weather changes are just part of life in Bali, so a covered spot like this really comes in handy. You'll still get a great view of the sunset from here.

About 10 minutes before the sun sets Just after the sun has set Whether you get a crystal-clear view of the sun dipping into the sea really depends on the day, but the shifting colors of the sky and the ocean breeze make it worthwhile regardless.
Restrooms: Use the Public Facilities
▼Costs 5,000 IDR to use
A box is set up for collecting the usage fee Most beachfront shops here don't have their own restrooms, so you'll need to use the public ones. There's no toilet paper provided, so bring tissues.
Usage costs 5,000 IDR , cash only. You just drop it in a box, and there's no change given, so bring small bills or coins.
Once the sun's fully set, that's your cue to head out
Most places stay open until around 10 PM, but a lot of visitors just come for the sunset and head elsewhere for dinner.

Double Six Beach is lined with restaurants along the shore.
This kind of laid-back setup is what makes Double Six Beach special—lots of old-school bars and restaurants like this one.
Among them,ZANZI BAR is one of the true originals. .
ZANZI BAR opens in the morning too, so you can enjoy breakfast with an ocean view here as well.
The Vibe
▼Ground-floor terrace with ocean views
Calm and comfortable Though it's on the ground floor, the terrace sits slightly elevated. Trees partially block the view, but you can still see the ocean well enough.
▼Second floor comes with a pool!
The view from upstairs is great too. Showers are available, so consider arriving early to enjoy some pool time first.
▼Indoor seating is lovely too!
Even the indoor seating is open-air, so you'll still catch that pleasant ocean breeze—only possible because it's right on the water.

▼Partially hidden by trees, the sun begins peeking through the clouds toward the horizon—sunset is close now.
▼The sun is now touching the horizon, its glow feeling stronger than before. Clouds partially obscure the view, but it's still stunning.
▼Just after the sun has set—the sky is still bright, marking the start of the magic hour, when the colors really begin to change.
The sky stays beautiful for a good while even after the sun's gone down, so take your time enjoying it.
