place on the main strip - virtually everything

and wonderful gardens, and some offer free

Sights
PURA BATU BOLONG
The small pagodas of this modest Balinese
temple
(admission by donation;
h
7am-7pm)
cling to
a rocky volcanic outcrop that juts into the sea
about 2km south of central Senggigi. Crabs
scuttle over statues and families come here
to snack and cool off at the beach directly
below. The temple is orientated towards Gu-
nung Agung, Bali's holiest mountain, and is
a favoured spot to watch the sunset. The rock
underneath the temple has a natural hole that
gives it its name -
batu bolong
(literally, 'rock
with hole').
