Tanah Lot is not only famous for its sunset viewing point but also a temple building on rock formation in coastal.

The temple is so unique particularly when high tide, it looks like a small island in the middle of the sea so that the prayers can’t enter into the area, and must wait for low tide to get into the temple.

Perhaps you get question “Can the visitors go inside Tanah Lot Temple?” Only the Hindus peoples (the prayers) are allowed to enter into the temple area.
