Tanah Lot is definately one of my favorite site simply breathtaking landscape especially if you get good sunset, secondly it is not far away from Denpasar usually it only take one hour to reach the place which is one of the most visited site by tourists.

The main attraction is the temple of Tanah Lot, where is located on a huge rock offshore that has been carved by incoming tides over the years set apart from the mainland, , the temple it self is part of six important temples in Bali. There is strong believe amongst youngsters in Bali that they don’t bring their girlfriend or boyfriend to visit Tanah Lot together it is believed that they will break up afterwards.
