Pura Tanah Lot stands on a rocky outcrop just off the shore in Tabanan regency, west of Canggu. At low tide you can walk to the foot of the rock; the temple itself is for worshippers. Its official site is tanahlot.id. Dress modestly, with shoulders and knees covered and a sarong and sash; the inner sanctums are for worshippers only (the provincial guidelines for visitors).
