Parking and etiquette

- Don't park blocking village lanes or temple entrances.

A simple day plan
Start with breakfast in Pererenan, work or relax in a café in Berawa through the hot midday, then ride to Echo Beach or Batu Bolong for sunset. Shortcuts and traffic tips are in Berawa & Pererenan and scooter parking in Canggu & Seminyak.
Canggu's shortcut lanes are narrow and shared with pedestrians, dogs and other scooters. Ride slowly and use your horn lightly at blind corners.
