Tanah lot

Tanah Lot is one of Bali’s most iconic sea temples and tourist destinations, located on the southwest coast of the island in Tabanan Regency, about 20 kilometers from Denpasar. Sea Temple (Pura Tanah Lot): Built on a rock formation in the sea, it appears to float during high tide. Cultural Significance: A sacred Hindu site dedicated to Dewa Baruna (the sea god), it plays a key role in Balinese mythology and religious practices. Sunset Views: Famous for stunning sunsets—best experienced in the late afternoon. Tide Timing: You can only walk to the temple at low tide; during high tide, it becomes surrounded by water. Poisonous Sea Snakes: Believed to guard the temple from evil spirits and intruders.
