Pererenan Beach

Canggu's quieter northern neighbour — black-sand, fewer crowds, hidden warungs and one of the best intermediate surf breaks on the south-west coast.

Best for: Quieter surf days and slow brunches

About Pererenan Beach

Pererenan Beach is Canggu's quieter northern neighbour — a black-sand stretch that has held onto more of its laid-back village feel even as the rest of Canggu has boomed. Rice fields still run almost down to the dunes in places, and the beachfront warungs here are simpler and cheaper than the polished clubs a few minutes south.

For surfers, Pererenan is the draw: a punchy reef and beach break that is one of the best intermediate-to-advanced waves on the south-west coast, without the crowds of Batu Bolong. Add a handful of excellent new cafés and sunset warungs and you have Canggu's sweet spot for travellers who want the scene nearby but a calmer base.
