Canggu has quickly become one of Bali’s favorite coastal destinations—not only for surfers, but also for those seeking sunsets, laid-back cafes, and a creative atmosphere. While this once-sleepy village has grown rapidly, it still holds its coastal charm, especially through its beaches. If you're planning a trip to Canggu, make sure to add these three iconic beaches to your itinerary:
Batu Bolong is the vibrant epicenter of Canggu’s coastal charm, a beach where energy meets relaxation, and every day feels like a festival. Renowned for its friendly surf breaks, it's a welcoming spot for beginners learning to ride their first waves, while the mellow waters also make it ideal for casual swimmers. But it’s not just about the ocean — Batu Bolong is just as much about the atmosphere.
By late morning, the beach fills with an eclectic mix of surfers, digital nomads, families, and travelers soaking up the sun. Lined with surf schools, colorful parasols, and beach bars, the area has become a social hub where locals and tourists mingle with ease.
Just steps from the sand, you'll find iconic hangouts like The Lawn, where you can sip cocktails with a front-row sunset view, or Old Man’s, a legendary venue known for its live music and laid-back party vibe. Cozy cafes, smoothie bars, and boutique shops line the road leading to the beach, making Batu Bolong not just a destination, but a lifestyle.
Whether you’re starting your day with a surf lesson, enjoying a coconut under the shade, or staying late to dance by the shore, Batu Bolong offers the quintessential Canggu experience effortless, social, and full of life.
Echo Beach offers a refined twist on Canggu’s coastal lifestyle — a place where rugged surf culture meets understated elegance. With more powerful and consistent waves, it’s a favorite among intermediate to advanced surfers who come here for serious sessions on the water. The beach itself has a raw, natural beauty, with black volcanic sand and dramatic tides that set a slightly more tranquil tone compared to the buzz of Batu Bolong.
While the vibe here is calmer, it doesn’t lack character. The beachfront is lined with a curated mix of cafes and seafood restaurants, many of which offer front-row views to some of the island’s most breathtaking sunsets. Imagine enjoying a fresh seafood BBQ, a chilled coconut, or a crisp glass of wine as the sky turns orange and pink — it’s one of those Bali moments that stays with you.
Unlike the more energetic beaches nearby, Echo Beach tends to draw a crowd that prefers slow living over loud parties. Think laid-back creatives, remote workers winding down after a productive day, or couples enjoying a romantic dinner with ocean views.
Just a short stroll north of the lively Batu Bolong and Echo Beach lies Pererenan Beach — a peaceful coastal haven where time seems to slow down. Often overlooked by the mainstream crowd, this stretch of shoreline offers a more intimate and authentic side of Canggu, blending natural beauty with a laid-back, village atmosphere.
Fringed by swaying palm trees and traditional rice fields, Pererenan feels like a hidden gem where you can truly disconnect. The waves here still draw a few experienced surfers, but the beach remains largely calm and uncrowded — ideal for those seeking solitude, quiet reflection, or a slower pace of life.
You won’t find loud beach bars or big crowds here. Instead, think of long walks on the dark sand, quiet moments with a book, and golden-hour photography as horses occasionally trot past along the shoreline. A few local warungs and stylish, low-key cafes dot the area, adding to its grounded charm.
Whether you’re coming for the surf, the sunsets, or the serene moments in between, Canggu’s beaches have something for every kind of traveler. Don’t rush each beach offers a different rhythm, and exploring them all is part of the joy of discovering Canggu.
