Canggu Village Bali

Canggu Village Bali

Canggu is a beach area in South Bali, north of Seminyak and south of Tanah Lot. The beaches have dark grey or black sand and are not particularly good for swimming, but do offer some renowned and challenging surfing spots.Canggu proper is a small village on the beach about 20 minutes north of Seminyak, half way to Tanah Lot. Canggu is widely used though to refer to a large coastal stretch of about 8 km, running north from the village of Berawa(just north of Seminyak) to the village of Cemagi (just south of Tanah Lot) taking in Echo Beach, Seseh and Pererenan along the way. It is still a largely rural area away from the beaches, but is being developed fast. The area is popular with many expatriates who choose to live here, and a large number of the villas owned by overseas nationals are located here. Much of the area features quietly undulating terrain with the rice paddies that typify much of south central Bali.

Very pastoral, Canggu offers a chance to observe the daily rhythms of Balinese village life. Check out the sunset from your perch on a surfboard. Black sand beaches. Amongst the better beaches in this area are Berawa, Echo Beach and Pererenan.

There are a variety of small hotels and bungalow collections in this area. The most prevalent form of travel accommodation though is a seemingly never ending supply of private villas.The bright lights, shopping centres and nightlife of Seminyak are just 25 minutes away. The temple of Tanah Lot, famed for its sunsets.
