In Kuta and Legian, shops are predominantly surf-oriented (swimwear, sarongs, sandals) and attract a younger crowd. However, visitors can still find a multitude of paintings, crafted jewelry, masks, and carvings sold along the roadside.

 En route to Ubud from the southern coast, the two-story Sukawati Market makes a perfect stop for its lineup of souvenirs and handicrafts. Catching onto the ever increasing popularity of Balinese art on the international scene, the market has been expanding its art collection alongside various sculptures, dance costumes, and woven baskets available at reasonable prices. Look out for prada, the colorful gold-painted cloth seen at Balinese ceremonies. For fine jewelry, head to nearby Celuk, which is known as Bali’s center for gold and silver crafts. Aside from scowing the huge storehouses for a wide variety of designed pieces, try going off the main road to the craftsmen’s village for more selection and better price.

Tanah Lot is a famous rock formation off the Indonesian island of Bali. It is home of a famous pilgrimage temple, the Pura Tanah Lot . The Tanah Lot temple was an important part of Balinese mythological history for centuries. The temple is one of seven sea temples around the Balinese coast. It was said that each of the sea temples was to be within eyesight of the next so that they formed a chain along the south-western coast.
At the base of the rocky island, poisonous sea snakes are believed to guard the temple from evil spirits and intruders. There is said to be one giant snake which also protects the temple. It is believed that this snake was created from Nirartha’s scarf when he established the island.
In 1980 the temple’s rock face was starting to crumble and the area around and inside the temple started to become dangerous.[citation needed] The Japanese government then provided a loan to the Indonesia government of Rp. 800 billion to conserve the historic temple and other beach locations around the island of Bali. As a result, over one third of the rock which can be seen is artificial rock created under the Japanese upgrade works.
