Nelayan Beach

We all love to wade in Bali's majestic ocean and this is the perfect spot to do so! Many beaches in Canggu have strong waves, good for surfing, but not so much for swimming. This beach is different. Usually it is calm and the currents are weak. It is also one of Canggu's least developed beaches, so you can enjoy some privacy as you explore the beautiful, vast Indian Ocean. Catch the sunset here and just hang out! It is located between Batu Bolong and Berawa, which are both much more popular. Nelayan is 350 meters long, so you'll have plenty of room to stroll across the mystical black sand. For those seeking a nice, relaxing beach in the hippest part of Bali- look no further than Nelayan.

This is a real cozy spot. Milk & Madu is a cafe that caters to families and young travelers alike. Tropical vibes will remind you that you are in paradise. Everyone will find something to enjoy here. For the younger crowd tune into live acoustic music 6M-9PM on Sundays and Tuesdays. These nights they also offer two for one pizzas, so bring all your friends and make it a party! For families- share a puzzle, a game, or just let the little ones play on the playground. Free crafts are available every day starting at 7AM. Children will love origami and paints and hopefully draw inspiration from the beauty of Bali! Relax with a fantastic cup of coffee while your kids are busy with crafts. Milk & Madu has it all. Enjoy a fresh breakfast, or come in later in the day for the best pizza in Bali, which is baked over lava stone. Breakfast is served from 7AM to 3PM. Lunch starts being served at noon. This is the perfect spot to snuggle up and enjoy the sounds of a rainstorm if you're ever visiting Bali in the rainy season.
