The views from the sea wall that surrounds the temple. Being connected to nature is an important element of the Balinese Hindu religion, and Uluwatu is a beautiful place to embrace that. There are pink tropical flowers all along the cliffs, monkeys running around, and seaside panoramas that take your breath away.
Be mindful of your belongings; the monkeys around the temple are known to steal hats, sunglasses, and food. Everyone who visits the temple has to cover their knees and shoulders. If you're not dressed appropriately, you'll have to borrow a sarong from the office at the entrance.
