The region also allures visitors around the world for its long list of idyllic beaches that include names like Kuta, Dreamland, Lovina, Padang Padang, Geger, Jimbaran, Seminyak and Sanur. Hindu temples of Bali are popular sights and due to a large number of such temples, it is sometimes known as the Island of a Thousand Temples. As per a popular belief, these temples are said to guard the land against the dark forces and have been built mostly on water edges and rugged cliffs. Besakih Temple, also popular by the name of Mother Temple, is more than a thousand years old.
Tanah Lot is another major temple that is constructed off the coast on a rock and serves as a great sunset point.
