The spectacularly placed temple of Tanah Lot is possibly the best-known and most photographed in Bali. It's almost certainly the most tourists the crowds here are phenomenal, the gauntlet of souvenir hawkers to be run is appalling an the commercial hype is terrible. Signs direct you to the best place for photographs and even where to catch the sunset. In fact sunset time has definite overtones of Australia's Ayers Rock with the faithful lined up, cameras at the ready, for the hallowed moment.

It's easy to see why it's such an attraction because Tanah Lot's setting is fantastic. It's perched on a little rocky islet, connected to the tide rolls in. it looks superb whether it's delicately lit by the down light or starkly outlined as sunset.

It's also an important Temple - one of the venerated sea temple respected in similar fashion to the great mountain temples. Like the equally spectacularly situated Ulu Watu, at the southern end of the island, Tanah Lot is closely associated with the legendary priest Nirartha. It's said that Nirarthta passed by here and, impressed with the tiny islands superb setting, suggested to local villagers that this would be a good place to construct a temple. Entry to the temple is 10,000rp/pax
