This is another 16th-century temple related to the history of Nirartha. Pura Luhur at Rambut (hair) Siwi means "worship of the hair." Legend has it that Nirartha gifted a lock of his hair that is stored in one of the three enclosures. The stunning cliff overlooks a long, wide stretch of beach and is between the villages of Air Satang and Yeh Embang, at the end of a 300m-long (100-ft.) side road. Look for the sign at the turn-off near the warungs.
