One of the best sightseeing highlights in Bali: Pura Luhur Uluwatu

Uluwatu is Bali’s most dramatic temple, with a spectacular location perched some 70 meters on the very tip of a narrow promontory above the crashing waves of the Indian Ocean. Sunset is the best time to see and photograph the temple but it is also the time when the crowds converge.

The temple was reputedly built in the eleventh century, and rebuilt in its present stat in the 16^th century. Keep an eye out for naughty monkey. I really suggest you to take a guide for the tour around Uluwatu. It is not because this temple is so big that you need someone to take you here and there but mostly because this guide will also guard you from those monkeys. Trust me I know the experience when a wild monkey tried to grab my little daughter!

Uluwatu is located 20 km south of Kuta. Public transport is unreliable so you better to take your own transport or join one of the many tours available.
