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.
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 🌅
Often called a “quiet Tanah Lot,” this Hindu sea temple perched on a rock in the ocean is one of Cemagi’s highlights. Locals bring offerings here, and the setting becomes magical at sunset.
💰 Entrance: 30,000 IDR (~$2 USD)
⏰ Hours: 7am – 6pm
🌅 Best time: golden hour, for incredible light and photos
Just steps away from the ocean, you’ll find traditional rice terraces still farmed by locals. Walk the narrow paths and soak up the serenity, away from Bali’s busier spots.
If you want to truly experience Cemagi, the best choice is to stay by the ocean.
