Less crowded than Canggu or Seminyak, Cemagi is one of Bali’s hidden gems on the west coast. Here you won’t find packed beaches or noisy crowds—just black-sand shores, oceanfront temples, sweeping rice fields, and unforgettable sunsets.

In this guide, I’ll walk you through the must-see activities, best places to stay and eat, and insider tips to enjoy Cemagi at its best.

Walk Along the Black-Sand Beach

Cemagi’s beach stretches for kilometers. It’s not made for swimming (waves are strong), but it’s perfect for long oceanfront walks, watching fishermen, and catching glimpses of local ceremonies at sunrise.

⏰ Best time: late afternoon for sunsets 🌅
