There’s something about Lombok’s coastline that makes you pause — like really pause. Maybe it’s the way the waves roll in a little slower here, or how the sand feels softer, quieter somehow. Whatever it is, these beaches don’t just ask for your attention, they pull you in.
Some of them are made for doing absolutely nothing. Some will have you on a board before you even think twice. And others? They’re just there, waiting — the kind of places you stumble across and don’t tell anyone about because you secretly want to keep them to yourself.
So here’s a not-so-definitive, completely personal, and slightly salt-covered list of the best beaches in Lombok. No hype. Just places that make you feel something.
Our Collective Favorite 10 Best Beaches in Lombok
Selong Belanak Beach
Lets get to the south first, I mean southern part of Lombok is just another vividly beautiful part of the island. Let say, Selong Belanak’s gentle waves could be a place to hang around and enoying the time. Quiet and framed by green hills, it’s also got a quirky bonus—catch buffalo herds strolling home at dusk.
Tanjung Aan Beach
Craving a hidden gem? Tanjung Aan, just 5 km from Kuta Lombok, delivers with its lush hills, turquoise waves, and two sand types—peppery on the left, silky white on the right. It’s a postcard-perfect escape with a long shoreline to explore.
Kuta Lombok Beach
Nope, not Bali’s Kuta! Lombok’s version in Central Lombok rocks pristine white sand and a chill, natural vibe. Locals call it “Pepper Beach” thanks to its grainy, pepper-like sand. Surrounded by hills, it’s also tied to the Sasak tribe’s legend of Princess Mandalika—check out the bau nyale sea worm hunting ritual in Feb-March!
Mawun Beach
Another Central Lombok stunner, Mawun Beach sits in a bay hugged by two hills. Its white sand and teal water are pure bliss, and if you’re up for it, hike the hills for a killer ocean view. Beach + adventure? Yes, please!
Tangsi Beach (Pink Beach)
Tangsi Beach in East Lombok—aka Pink Beach—is a rare find with its pinkish sand, thanks to crushed coral mixing with the white stuff. The blue water and green hills make it a dreamy spot—hit it at midday for the best pink vibes.
Senggigi Beach
First up, Senggigi Beach in Batu Layar is a total vibe. Easy to reach, it’s a surfer’s paradise with big waves and crystal-clear water. Not into surfing? No worries—snorkel, kayak, or jog along the shore. The sunset here? Unreal, especially with Bali’s Mount Arjuna peeking in the distance..
Tanjung Ringgit Beach
Over in East Lombok, Tanjung Ringgit’s towering coral cliffs and endless ocean views are next-level. Bonus: you’ll spot old Japanese WWII cannons and caves. Stick with a local guide to explore the freshwater well under the cliffs safely.
Sekotong Beach
West Lombok’s Sekotong Beach in Sekotong district is an exotic escape with seagrass beds along the shore. Climb the hills for epic sunrise or sunset shots with Mount Agung in the backdrop. Pure serenity.
Nambung Beach
Nambung’s no ordinary beach—big waves crash against cliffs, creating a “waterfall” effect. Head there in April, morning or evening, to snap this wild natural show. Cameras ready!
Gili Nanggu Beach
Skip the usual Gili hype and hit Gili Nanggu, a 30-minute boat ride from Lembar Port. It’s a tiny island with rare hawksbill turtle breeding, clear waters for snorkeling, and resorts with watersports and dive gear. Chill vibes all the way.
