Recommended stay: 1 day
Getting around: Black sand and a reef break; the sunset-and-a-beer end of Canggu.
Hours: No fixed hours; the beach is popular for both surfing during the day and sunset drinks in the evening.

Echo Beach (Pantai Echo) is one of Canggu's most popular black-sand beaches, known primarily as a top surfing destination. The beach features strong, consistent waves that are best suited for intermediate to advanced surfers, with a notable left-hand reef break and beach breaks further down the shore.

Beyond surfing, Echo Beach has a lively yet laid-back atmosphere. Visitors can relax at beachfront cafes and "warungs" (local food stalls) that offer seating directly on the sand, making it a great spot to enjoy fresh seafood and sunset views.

Practical details include paying a small parking fee for a scooter or car, and visitors should be aware of strong currents and rip tides in certain areas, making it generally unsafe for casual swimming, especially for beginners. The beach is accessible via Jalan Pura Batu Mejan, with amenities like surfboard rentals and surf schools available nearby.
