A small sanctuary lies on a huge black rock offshore, with only a few meters square of courtyard, but it is one of most important temples in Bali for it has a link with a series of temples on the south coast of the island. The sharp rock, originally was black, day by day is shaken and carved by the waves, and after a long time it has become what one can see now, niched and holed, colorful with overgrow seaplants. The locals believe that there is a huge snake which dwells peacefuly in one of shrines.
Coming to Tanah Lot could become an unforgetable memory if one would like to wait until the sun slides slowly down behind the horizon, and the templw silhouette stand silently on its massive blackness.
