When you heard Canggu for the first time, you’ll probably jump into the endless nightlife activities. But did you know that there are a lot of fun things to do in Canggu, aside from the fun party time? Canggu area is also known as the best spot for an intermediate to expert surfing level.
With the ranges of about 5 kilometers of coastline, from Pererenan to Berawa, Canggu would be the perfect site to step up your surfing game. Here are some areas that you’ll love to surf when you’re in Canggu.
Echo Beach

If you are a surfer’s head and Canggu is your destination, Echo Beach is the perfect beach to visit. This place has several spots from intermediate to expert levels. We don’t advise a beginner surfer to surf here, because of the reef, and heavy waves around this area. If you’re not feeling like chasing the wave you can also spend a very good time here, because there are a lot of beach bars here.
You can rent the surfing board here starting from IDR 60 K (around USD 4) or take a 2 hours surf lesson for IDR 450K (around USD 31), board rental included.

Batu Bolong Beach
Batu Bolong Beach is located in one of the prime locations in the Canggu area. It’s located side to side with hype bars, like The Lawn or Old Man’s. The best time to ride the wave in this area is in the morning. At that time you’ll meet a lot of professional surfers, outstanding local surfers and maybe some beginners who try to step up their skills. Around sunset time, this place is gonna be packed with more people, so if you’re planning to surf at that time, you need to prepare yourself, because you’ll probably catch the same wave at the same time with others.
There is a lot of shack where you can rent the board for around IDR 60 K (around USD 4). Just like in Echo Beach, you can also take surf lessons for IDR 450K (around USD 31), board rental included.
Berawa Beach
If you stay in Canggu, and you are an intermediate surfer, you definitely catch a wave on Berawa Beach. The wave here is fast and it has flat rock bottom areas. This spot is also famous because it’s located side to side with Finn’s Beach Club. So you can always stay and relax at the club or the beach while you feel too tired to chase the wave.
Just like the other 2 places, there is a lot of shack where you can rent the board for around IDR 60 K (around USD 4). You can also take surf lessons for IDR 450K (around USD 31), board rental included.
