Indonesia Tanah Lot, Bali

Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot

Tanah Lot is a remarkable temple set on an island of rocks just offshore in Bali, Indonesia. Although heavily visited and photographed, it's hard not to pass on a sunset shoot of the western facing facing view over the beautiful ocean that washes the coast of Bali.

Photography Tips

Get there well before sunset if you want to stake out a spot. The crowds come thick and fast around sunset. Unless you are shooting HDR/bracketed exposure stacking, you will probably want to use a gradient ND filter since the sun is quite strong. Bali is best known for its postcard sunsets but also consider the monsoon season for dramatic skies (and slightly fewer tourists).

Travel Information

Tuk tuk or taxi or scooter to Tanah Lot (parking available). There is an entrance fee equivalent to a few US dollars. Walk through the market down to the beach. A track wends its way along the coast with striking cliff formations all along the path. A bit of research should tell you when low tide and sunset coincide. The temple is more or less inaccessible from the beach at high tide.
