Legian is a 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 recognized; the workers have as many clothes on as possible and the bules (westeners) wear as little as possible. Be prepared for scantily clad Brazilians, G-stringed Italians, copper toned 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 Legian Beach, when the beach bars fill up, the football field is at its busiest and the locals knock off work and wade fully clothed, skirts swirling, into the waves.
