Bali's most famous sea temple, with the tide breaking around the rock at sunset.
Tanah Lot is Bali's most famous sea temple, built on a rocky outcrop that the tide surrounds at high water. As one of the island's key sea temples it's dramatic at any hour - but at sunset, with the sky turning gold and the waves breaking around the rock, it becomes the classic end to a West Bali day.
The clifftops nearby give sweeping views along the coast, and the market path down to the temple buzzes with life. We time the visit for late afternoon so you're in place as the sun drops into the sea.
