In Reply to: Seminyak One of Worlds Worst Beaches? posted by GaryD on Wednesday, 19. August 2009 at 21:40 Bali Time:
Always found the beaches in Kuta / Legian juts ok - BUT absolutely horrid in January or the wet season. Took the kids in once a few years ago and it like swimming in liquid landfill - run for the beach!! Apparantly, because it's wet season, rains flush out the rivers, supposedly in Java, & the swirling currents bring all the rubbish, plastic, bottles etc towards Bali - never seen anything like it!! YUUKKK!! And who knows what other nasties were unseen????
