Pura Tanah Lot Attractions

If there is one sight on Bali which no visitor to the island should miss it is the Pura Tanah Lot. Every evening coach-loads of tourists from Kuta, Legian and Sanur make their way through a labyrinth of lanes lined by souvenir-sellers to enjoy the magnificent spectacle of the sun setting behind the little temple on a rocky islet off the coast.

The Pura Tanah Lot, which can be reached on foot at low tide, was built at the beginning of the 16th century by Pedanda Sakti Bau Rauh, a priest who was forced to flee from religious persecution on Java and founded several temples on Bali.
