Tanah Lot is the work of the priest Nirartha, back in 15th-century. During his travels along the south coast he saw the rock-island's beautiful setting and rested there. Some fishermen saw him, and bought him gifts. Nirartha then spent the night on the little island. Later he spoke to the fishermen and told them to build a shrine on the rock for he felt it to be a holy place to worship the Balinese sea gods. The temple is one of seven sea temples around the Balinese coast. Each of the sea temples were established within eyesight of the next to form a chain along the south-western coast. At the base of the rocky land, poisonous sea snakes are believed to guard the temple from evil spirits and intruders. The Tanah Lot temple is best visited before sunset, because it has magnificent view. Today my visit is during the day, its to prevent the traffic of all the tourist.
