South Bali

Canggu, Bali

Surf breaks, rice-field cafés and a young, creative beach-town energy.

About Canggu

Canggu stretches north of Seminyak along a run of dark-sand surf beaches - Batu Bolong, Echo Beach and Berawa. It has grown quickly into Bali's café, co-working and surf hub, with rice fields still threaded between villa developments. Roads are narrow and traffic is slow, so most visitors base themselves within walking distance of the beach they intend to surf. Expect a younger, more casual crowd than Seminyak, and a strong brunch and sunset-bar culture.
