A Hindu sea temple perched on a cliff 70 m above the Indian Ocean on Bali's southern tip. At sunset, the Kecak fire dance is performed in an amphitheatre on the cliff.


Monkeys snatch sunglasses and phones. The beaches nearby, such as Padang Padang and Bingin, are famous surf spots. Tanah Lot, another sea temple on a rock, is on the west coast.
