About Canggu
Canggu is a sleepy area on the south coast of Bali. It is most famous for its lovely surf beaches & attracts a daily cohort of keen and very enthusiastic surfers. Echo Beach (locally known as Pantai Batu Mejan) is a beautiful black-sand beach with advanced reef breaks and seafood cafes overlooking gorgeous sunsets from high up. Other popular beaches include Berawa, Seseh and Pererenan – all with their unique surf-breaks and all within easy access to Canggu central.
Canggu has increased in popularity with the introduction of Deus Ex Machina’s Bali outpost, the Deus Temple of Enthusiasm, and its annual single fin longboarding contest. It is now considered a trendy spot for surfers and bronzed yogis who enjoy the laid back culture and health-conscious foods at the local Canggu cafes and restaurants.
Canggu has a number of culturally important sites, such as the Hindu Temple, Pura Merajapati and the Pipitan Cemetery. There are two main temples along the beach: Pura Batu Bolong and Pura Batu Mejan. Bolong is a breathtaking tourist attraction which sits on a majestic rock face in the middle of the ocean.
Canggu’s rapid growth over the last couple of years has seems a significant rise in the number of tourists which has lead to the development of some luxurious, family friendly holiday villas to cater for this ever growing demand. People who are tired of the over hype and development of areas like Seminyak & Legian are now gravitating to Canggu as a new holiday destination where they can still see rice fields and green patches of land. It has a bohemian, hipster, friendly, eco conscious attitude unlike any other area in Bali. This is what draws in the crowds and travelers who all want to be part of this vibrant & eclectic scene.
With lots of great restaurants, health food shops where you can stock up on your muesli, vegan produce & organic food or cafes serving the most delicious smoothies through to cheap eats on the beach; Canggu is the ideal place to hang for a day, week or even longer. You will find spending time in Canggu is just the tonic your soul needs to recharge & re energise.
