Canggu used to be a quiet fishing village with rice fields and a black-sand beach. Then surfers found the waves, cafés opened between the paddies, and today you can drink a smoothie bowl at breakfast, surf at noon and watch a sunset with a cold coconut for dinner. It is one of the places where a small budget buys a surprisingly large life, and that is why it has become a favourite of backpackers and remote workers.
