Tanah Lot Temple is perhaps one of the most recognizable temples in all of Bali, and one of the seven sea temples along the coast. It sits on an outcrop of rock that sits just offshore, with waves crashing on all sides. The unique location has turned Tanah Lot Temple into a religious and cultural icon. Established in the 16th century, the temple is built harmoniously into the rock and enhances the stunning natural beauty of the area. This provides a gorgeous backdrop for photographs, especially during sunset. Every evening, tourists flock to Tanah Lot Temple to snap photos of the brilliant sky behind the craggy temple rock.

The rock itself is actually only accessible at low tide. Tourists are not allowed inside the temple buildings themselves, but you are welcome to walk along the pathways and take pictures. As you approach the temple, you will pass by numerous stalls selling all manner of goods, artwork, and souvenirs. There is an entry fee of 60,000 IDR for adults and 30,000 IDR for children to enter Tanah Lot Temple. It is located in the village of Tabanan, just northwest of the capital city of Denpasar and easily accessible from Kuta.
