Introduction
Continue east from Candidasa and you'll discover some of Bali's best-kept secrets.
Pasir Putih is an idyllic crescent of white-sand beach backed by lines of coconut palms; the rice terraces around Tirta Gangga (Water of the Ganges) are some of the most beautiful on Bali; and the Second World War wreck of the US cargo ship Liberty has given rise to the quiet diving mecca of Tulamben.
Gunung Agung, meanwhile, is Bali's highest and most sacred mountain and its slopes descend steeply to Bali's north-east coast, where traditional villages like isolated Tembok break up the striking black-sand shoreline.
