Canggu: Surfer cum Yogi Haven - The black sand beach at Pantai Seseh

to start yet quiet area of ​​Canggu discovery body and soul through yoga, healthy eating new left and to revitalize and total relaxation.

"In the past there were beautiful rice fields in this way just to be," said an Australian tourist to her friend as they strolled past me. I was walking on Jl. Padang Linjong in Canggu, and she was not kidding.

This area north of Seminyak on the west coast of Bali has grown from mere rice fields just a few years ago in a busy beach 'turned village "where the hip tourists escaping from the Bintang singlet Dress -Urlauber that have begun to spread their wings in the crowded Kuta Seminyak, just 10 kilometers south of Canggu.

Visit soon disappear this area especially the beautiful rice fields and there is another Seminyak .

, it took some time before when I put my finger on Canggu, but after a period of 10 nights in the area, I can best describe it as a surfer-meets-yogis area - ie a mixture of Seminyak and Ubud -. mean with the relaxed feeling that Sanur offers Big swells these waters are for experienced surfers, although many learn- to-surf schools exist. There are yoga studios and retreats-much, and for vegetarians, vegans and organic restaurants, this is to make the perfect health retreat in Bali.

to navigate the area, rent a motorbike or bicycle and you think of Canggu as several small streets away from Jl. Bypass Tanah Lot and Jl. Raya Canggu that. Each their way to the sea The main roads are little Jl. Pantai Batu Bolong (which ends at the Batu Bolong beach), Jl. Raya Semat, Jl. Raya Pantai Berawa and Jl. Pantai Berawa and Jl. Padang Linjong (which ends on Echo Beach).

The most happening all beaches has to offer are Batu Bolong Canggu and Echo Beach, sitting less than a kilometer apart. The rocky ridges and dark volcanic sand this area as pristine white sand beaches might not be so tempting, but do not let the black stop you coming back; the atmosphere here is relaxed and the swell draw in surfers from around the world.

watching on Pantai Echo, beach restaurants barbecue fresh seafood, while tourists and locals alike sipping on Bintang, on colorful bean bags as they sit still colorful sunsets sunsets ~~ POS = HEADCOMP. The problem is not only beanbags scattered on the beach, as litter can also be found. This should be addressed before it stops tourists from returning.

Further to the north, away from the bass lines of Echo Beach and Batu Bolong bars sitting Seseh Beach, the right choice for those who want to escape the crowds. There are some stunning villas here - to be Sejuk Villas on the beach - but they are quite expensive, so for those on a budget, grab a bike and head here for the day - remember to bring only food and drink as not a memory. ... But

And that's the thing with Canggu; is to develop at the speed of light, and the incessant sound of the chainsaw can go almost anywhere to hear. So if you are looking for some quiet time, make sure you check with the hotel before you see you're getting to, if it works any renovation in the area, as this could easily steal your Chill.
