The surf heart of Canggu

Batu Bolong Beach, Bali

Length: 0.6 kmSurf year-round; swim near shore in calm waterstay nearby from $20/night

Batu Bolong is Canggu's main beach and one of the island's friendliest waves: soft, long and forgiving — the lineup is full of beginners and longboarders from around the world. Schools and rentals sit right on the sand.

The sand is dark and volcanic; swimming is a near-shore, calm-water affair — this is a surf spot first. At sunset all of Canggu gathers here: coconuts, dogs, bonfires. Cafes and bars start thirty metres from the water.
