Tahan Lot

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.
A very romantic afternoon of Tanah Lot, another of Bali’s famous scenic wonders. Suspended on a huge rock off shore and set apart from the mainland by a stone basin, it is the most romantic and indescribable view for your eyes and camera, when the temple dissolves into a striking silhouette against the simmering evening sky.
