Bali Guide › About the Island
Once a stretch of rice fields and quiet surf, Canggu has become one of Bali's most popular areas - a laid-back coastal district known for its beach breaks, black-sand shoreline, and a buzzing cafe and co-working culture.
It's the spiritual home of Bali's digital-nomad and surf scene, with beach clubs, brunch spots, and boutiques lining the lanes between the rice paddies that still remain.
Canggu suits travellers who want beach mornings, good coffee, and sunset drinks, at a pace that's livelier than Ubud but more relaxed than Kuta.
