Leave time to walk the coastal paths and wait for the tide or the light, not just a quick look.
Late afternoon is the classic time, for sunset behind the temple, but also the busiest; early morning is quieter.
Check the operator's ceremony calendar first: festivals change what you will see, and the sanctuary is for worshippers.
From the entrance, a lane of shops leads down to the shore. Walk along the cliff paths to see the temple on its rock from different angles, then continue to Pura Batu Bolong, a smaller shrine standing on a natural rock arch nearby. When the tide is low you can reach the base of the rock. Take in the dark-sand beach, the cliffs and the surf rolling in.
