Canggu stretches along the west coast from Berawa to Pererenan, with beginner-friendly surf at Batu Bolong and Echo Beach. It has the island's densest mix of cafés, coworking spaces, gyms and beach clubs, which makes it the easiest place to meet people fast. The trade-off is traffic and rising prices.
