The Nyepi day of quiet is a Hindu New Year festival held in the Balinese calendar, which only has 210 days a year, and on this day the entire island shuts down! This includes shops, enterprises, and even the airport - no employment, no travel, and no noise are permitted. This 'Day of Silence is observed as a time for introspection and is imposed by the pedaling (local security offers). Beaches, streets, stores, and bars are all closed to visitors.
