Canggu
North of Kerobokan, the coastline unfurls in a succession of wild surfing beaches and dra-
matic coastal panoramas at Batubelig, Berewa, Batu Bolong, Echo Beach (Batu Mejan) and
Pererenan - all can be dangerous for swimming. This area is loosely referred to as
Canggu
and in recent years it has become the name to drop among in-the-know visitors; think stylish
hotels, glamorous villas, warung and the occasional hipster restaurant among rice fields or
behind wild beaches - a slice of Kerobokan from a decade or so ago. Echo Beach and Batu
Bolong are the real hubs. Of course, most services are a bit further away, but that's half the
point. (Incidently, if you're driving, take the Jalan Betubelig road from Kerobokan, not the
long traffic-congested Tanah Lot route.) And inevitably, what was once a surfer bolthole is
now developing at terrifying pace. Get there soon.
