Batu Bolong Beach

Batu Bolong Beach sits right at the heart of Canggu’s surf culture and social life. Named after the nearby Pura Batu Bolong temple—famous for its “hollow rock” cliff—this beach is where mornings start with surfboards and evenings end with sunsets and music. The dark volcanic sand, constant buzz, and ocean views make it one of the most iconic beaches in Bali.

The waves at Batu Bolong are mellow and forgiving, which is why it’s one of the best places in Bali for beginner surfers and longboard lovers. Surf schools line the shore, and it’s easy to rent a board or jump into a lesson, even if it’s your first time in the water.

As the sun drops, the vibe completely shifts. Beanbags appear on the sand, live music drifts from beachfront spots like Old Man’s, and sunset drinks turn into long, relaxed evenings. Whether you’re surfing, people-watching, or just enjoying a fresh coconut by the sea, Batu Bolong Beach captures everything Canggu is known for—easygoing, social, and endlessly fun.
