Tanah Lot – Fabled temple by the sea

Tanah Lot is a site further north along the coast from Canggu, and the ancient temple sits atop a rock formation at the very edge of a beach. Off-shore and difficult to trek, despite foreign tourists not actually being able to enter, yet many people still visit the temple during their trip to Bali. Tanah Lot is worth the day trip out as there are sights along the way in the Tabanan Regency, then closing with a visit to the temple to end the day.

Many warungs and small eateries are lined up for tourists within the temple complex, known as Sunset Terrace; it offers a larger view of the beach and temple during sunset. The coffee shops specialize in Bali’s kopi luwak for coffee enthusiasts that desire a highlighted flavor. There are also humble cafes and hidden restaurants in the greater area that serve both scrumptious local and western food.
