It might be true that Kerobokan, a district in the west of Denpasar, seems less engaging than the neighboring Seminyak or Canggu. However, you can’t overlook the stretch of glossy black sand (the best spot to enjoy your sundown cocktail), the swank restaurants and coffeehouses with motley themes, or the souvenir stands with cool knickknacks lining the busy street.
