Canggu Guide

The places we come back to.

Canggu changes quickly. The places worth knowing don't always shout the loudest.

This is our edit of the neighbourhood — morning coffee, long lunches, sunset swims, late dinners and a few places we'd rather keep to ourselves.

No endless lists. No must-sees. Just the places we genuinely like, selected by the people who call Canggu home.

Take your time. You're on island time.

04 — Beach & Surf

Beach & Surf

Black sand. Warm water. Sunset on repeat.

Batu Bolong Beach

For learning to surf

The heart of Canggu’s surf scene and one of the easiest places to get started. Rent a board on the beach, book a lesson with one of the local instructors and stay afterwards for a coconut or sunset beer.

Casa tipGo early in the morning for cooler weather, fewer crowds and an easy start to the day.

Berawa Beach

For sunset close to home

A long stretch of black sand with plenty happening around it, but still enough space to find your own spot. Come in the late afternoon, walk along the beach and stay for sunset.

Casa tipPick up a cold coconut or beer from one of the simple beach stalls and watch the sunset from the sand.

Echo Beach

For watching the surfers

One of Canggu’s iconic surf spots, with stronger waves and a more surf-focused atmosphere. Better for experienced surfers — or simply grab a seat and watch the action from shore.

Casa tipEven if you don’t surf, come around golden hour. The combination of surfers, black sand and sunset is pure Canggu.

Pererenan Beach

For a quieter beach moment

A little further along the coast and generally more laid-back than central Canggu. Perfect for a sunset walk when you want a little more space and a slower pace.

Casa tipWalk north along the beach around sunset and explore the cafés and restaurants around Pererenan afterwards.

Batu Belig Beach

For a slower sunset

A little south of Berawa, Batu Belig feels more spacious and relaxed than central Canggu. Come for a long walk along the sand, an easy afternoon by the ocean and stay as the sun goes down.

Casa tipThis is one of our favourites when you want sunset without heading into the busier heart of Canggu.

New to surfing?

Batu Bolong is usually our first recommendation for beginners. You'll find board rentals and local surf instructors directly along the beach.

Surf conditions change every day, so always ask a local instructor about the tide, currents and conditions before heading into the water.
