Tanah Lot
Tanah Lot
Tanah Lot (Earth from the sea) is stunning 15th sanctuary located of Bali’s south coast, about 12 kilometers from Tabanan City and 20 kilometers from Denpasar, built a top a rocky mound that high tide is completely surrounded by water.
Most come here longing to catch a glimpse of the romantic Tanah Lot sunsets, a regular occurrence during the dry season. The temple of Tanah Lot stands on a rocky island just off the southwest coast of Bali.
One of Bali’s most sacred sea temples, Tanah Lot is dedicated to the guardian spirits of the sea. The temple itself is said to be guarded from evil by the sea snakes that inhabit the caves below.
The temple itself is not accessible to visitors, but magnificent views can be had from a variety of points nearby. Crowds especially gather on the terraces nearby to watch the glow of the sunset behind the temple.
Naturally, there are plenty of souvenir shops and cafes with a view to keep you well-supplied while doing so.
