For the 'Virgins' here is some info regarding the S&S
S&S is an abbreviation for Suzi and Sammi's beach bar.
They are a husband and wife Balinese couple. They set up a very informal 'beach bar' each day located in the Kuta/Legian area, between Jalan Melasti and Jalan Padma.
There are one or two Eskys/Car fridges/Ice Boxes, an umbrella for shade and a number of plastic chairs. Over the years it has been a great casual place to meet other families and forumites and it's great to be able to put a face to a ‘post name' as used on the BTF, share experiences, compare tips and relax.
As I said it's on the sand and the entrance is on the new road along the beach front between the Mandira and Legian Beach Hotels. As you walk through the break in the brick wall on to the sand, the life savers stand is on the left and S & S is on the tree line to your right. S&S have eskys filled with icy cold beer and soft drinks for the kids. The kids can play on the sand, take a hip flask of spirits if your not a beer drinker, get your nails done, have a massage, buy sarongs, beads, t-shirts etc.
Members meet up there at a pre arranged time arranged here on the BTF before leaving for Bali. Most meet up at around 4pm at the S&S. After drinks at sunset the group normally wander off for dinner somewhere together.
Here is a map (courtesy Mic Forum) showing how to get to the S&S at:
