The coastal area of Canggu is a traditional fishing region, where you can observe the rhythms of day-to-day village life in Bali. Watch the fishermen bring in their catch early in the mornings at Nelayen Beach and pick up some fresh lobsters, prawns and fish.
Though many of the beaches have dark sand, there are several gems that are famous for their great surfing and wonderful restaurants; including Berawa, Echo Beach and Pererenan. If you’re in the mood for some ‘extreme dining’, pay a visit to Lacalita Bar Y Cocina where you can watch your food being made in front of you, before you start sipping on a selection of spirits till the early hours of the morning.
For a change in scenery and for something a little more daring, a day trip to Deus ex Machina Temple of Enthusiasm is a requirement! Here you have everything from restaurants to skate ramps. This is a great chance you check out custom made motorbikes and then boogie-on-down in front of bands on the dancefloor.
If trekking is your thing, then you’ve come to the right place. There are organised trips up and around both Mount Agung and Mount Batur. Here you will experience some simply stunning scenery that you might have only heard of. Invest in some good walking/running shoes and explore a world like non other!
