The sand is white, so the water is very clear and the waves are roaring loudly. From the beaches of Senggigi hotels to the quiet subtropical beaches of Kuta to the beaches around the Gili islands, you will find all the impressive beaches to visit. Whether you come to surf or just need to relax on the sand, Lombok has everything to enjoy.
- Kuta Beach Lombok
Kuta Lombok is a city that tourists are increasingly visiting. The increasing number can see this of inns, cafes, and restaurants there. At night, the regional pubs have live music performances to immerse visitors in a pleasant atmosphere while enjoying the beautiful stars. The city is believed to be growing rapidly and attracting more visitors
the next few years.
There are many buildings under construction near the city’s coast, which means the prediction will really happen in the future. The beaches in town are good enough for a quick swim, but the beaches around Kuta are much more secluded and picturesque. In our view, this will be the best beach near Kuta Lombok.
- Selong Belanak Beach
Located about 30 minutes from Kuta, this beach has something for everyone. Part of the beach is lined with small warungs (restaurants). The waves are calm, ideal for nurturing your browsing skills as a newcomer. Furthermore, you will find fancier restaurants if you want a good meal and beyond that, you will find very long stretches of sand all alone.
Selong Belanak is undoubtedly one of the hugely popular southern beaches on Lombok, therefore it may feel bloated by the stalls, but if you keep going, you may notice that the further you move, the beach becomes lonely. Sunny afternoons decorated with clear blue water are simply amazing.
- Mawi Beach
This Lombok beach is not very developed and very quiet. On a clear day, Mawi beach is beautiful. We just saw another couple on a long stretch of sand. The route to Mawi is quite difficult and maybe a bit dangerous if you are not used to riding a motorbike. Be careful if it has recently rained, as the sand can make it difficult for the bike. But beyond these obstacles, you will be amazed by the adventures you have undertaken.
We do not observe stalls or shops, so please allow you to do your inspection. If you continue along the coast, from Seong Belanka, and around Semeti Beach, you will find rock formations where the sand ends. It is well worth the little hike to enjoy the beach view from that kind of rock. If you continue past the stones, you will hit the second, and even lesser, Mawi element. Within this stretch, you will find the Mawi Surf Cafe, a small warung selling basic food and drinks.
- Semeti Beach
The location is right next to Mawi beach and may be less well understood than the beach. You can reach Semeti by returning to the same dirt road you took for Mawi and turning. It will take you to a deserted Lombok beach and different countryside with lots of rocks and caves to explore.
It was great to spend the day here climbing the rocks and looking around. This steep natural beach provides a bolder challenge than other beaches. Semeti is also an ideal location to watch the sunset when it’s not too cloudy.
Whether your trips take you on a long stroll on beaches, delicious cuisines, relaxing spas and resorts or urban attractions, extra research will give you the best experience for your visit. Get to know more about Lombok by visiting Wonderful Indonesia.
