Canggu, Bali

Canggu is a quiet town on the west coast of Bali. Unlike Kuta, the beaches at Canggu is almost deserted, allowing you to enjoy the vast expanse. It is in fact possible to walk along the beach from Canggu all the way to Seminyak.

As with Kuta, you can also surf at Canggu. In fact, it was surfers who first discovered Canggu, in the early 1970's, and they quickly made it their private domain. Due to the big waves, the beach here is not suitable for swimming.

The style of accommodation that you can find in Canggu can be classified under the boutique hotel category. One place worth checking out is the Tugu, a boutique hotel whose name means "monument". This self-styled "museum hotel" has an eclectic mix of furnishing that fuses Dayak artifacts with Art Deco furnishing.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
