Riding a Scooter in Canggu: Surfer & Nomad Guide, Shortcut, Parking
By the siappergi.com team · Published · 6 min read · Baca dalam Bahasa Indonesia
In Canggu a scooter isn't just an option — almost everyone gets around on one. From Batu Bolong to Pererenan, from coworking spaces to warungs, the scooter is the main way to travel. Prices and booking are on the Canggu scooter rental page; this article focuses on how to ride here and where to go.
Why you need a scooter in Canggu
There's almost no public transport, taxis often get stuck in traffic, and the distances between beaches, cafés and villas are just a bit too far to walk. A scooter puts everything within minutes.
Surfboard racks
Many rental scooters in Canggu come with a surfboard rack on the left side. Choose a scooter with this feature on the Canggu scooter rental page if you're bringing your own board. Take care when overtaking with a board — people often forget how wide it is.
Roads to watch out for
- The Canggu Shortcut (Jl. Raya Babakan towards Batu Bolong) is very narrow and busy.
- Jl. Pantai Batu Bolong and Jl. Pantai Berawa are busy all day.
- Many small roads between the rice fields have no lighting at night.
