Beaches around Kuta Lombok

Gambar
While Kuta has its own grand beach, the real attractions here are the surrounding beaches — both to the east and west of Kuta town. There is no public transport to speak of to get to any of the outlying beaches, so you’ll need your own transport — all the following beaches are reachable by car or motorbike. The most commonly visited beaches are reached by all-weather sealed roads. All of those to the east of Kuta have mostly good sealed roads (patchy in places). To the west, however, the road quality drops off badly after Selong Blanak, with the coastal “road” from there west to Torok Air being particularly awful (and hair raising!) The roads to the west though are developing quickly as increasing levels of land speculation are driving a number of villa developments here — hopefully beach access will remain open to all. West of Kuta Lombok Are Goleng The first beach you’ll reach heading west from Kuta is Are Goling (also spelt Are Guling), one of the only beaches out this wa

Gili Meno in Lombok Island

Gambar
Gili Meno is the middle of Lombok’s three Gilis. It has a population of about 400, mainly concentrated on the center of the island. The main income of the population comes from tourism, coconut plantation and fishing. On the west side of the island there is a small shallow lake that produces salt in the dry season. Until a few years ago there was also a small production of seaweed on the reef at the north end of the island. It has swimming beaches all around the island, as well as an impressive bird sanctuary. Only two kilometres long and one wide, Gili Meno is the smallest of the three islands and by far the most peacefull and under developed. It’s possible to walk around the island along the beach or paths of Gili Meno in under two hours. Special features of the island are the salt lake and spectacular dive sites such as, Meno Wall, Sea Turtle Point, and Blue Coral Point. The beach on eastern part of the island is very nice and there’s snorkeling just offshore and

Gili Trawangan in Lombok Island

Gambar
Gili Trawangan is a tropical playground of global renown, ranking alongside Bali and Borobudur as one of Indonesia's top destinations. Trawangan's heaving main drag, busy with bikes,  cidomos  and mobs of scantily clad visitors, can surprise those expecting a languid island retreat. Instead, a bustling string of lounge bars, hip guesthouses, ambitious restaurants, convenience stores and dive schools clamours for attention. And yet behind this glitzy facade, a bohemian character endures, with rickety warungs (cheap eating houses) and reggae joints surviving between the cocktail tables, and quiet retreats dotting the much-less-busy north coast. Even as massive 200-plus-room hotels begin to colonise the gentrifying west coast, you can head just inland to a village laced with sandy lanes roamed by free-range roosters, fussing  ibu  (mothers) and wild-haired kids playing hopscotch. Here the call of the muezzin, not happy hour, defines the time of day.

Surfing in Lombok Island

Surfing in Lombok Lombok is also known for its best secret surf point, The Desert Point. Still very isolated but for most Australian surfers they named it as "Desert Point", located in South West cost of Lombok. Desert Point also known as Bangko bangko beach. BANGKO BANGKO OR DESERT POINT Located on the South West Coast of Lombok, 3 hours drive from Kuta. On its day Desert Point is regarded as one of the best waves on the planet. Barrels of 20 seconds have been filmed there and 10 second tubes are common. Full or new moon low tides, a south east wind and a big swell are needed, most consistent from May to October. It can go weeks without waves, but just one Desert Point bomb will make the wait worth it. Experienced surfer only. Bring your booties an a good tube riding board.  A long walled and incredibly hollow left hander that on its day can break up to 300 meters, growing in size from takeoff to end. Best between 3-8 ft. Surfing in Lombok is much less ha
