Why Pink Beach Lombok Special

Pink Beach Lombok is one of the few beaches in Indonesia with pink sand.
The pink color comes from a mix of white sand and tiny fragments of dead red coral. Sunlight and the wash of seawater enhance the pink hue even more.

Pink Beach Lombok has gentle waves, which makes it a comfortable place to relax—especially with clouds rolling in the blue sky when the weather is clear.
The hills surrounding the beach add to the beauty of the scenery.

To the left of the beach, there are wide grassy hills. If you climb them, they’ll be rewarded with a sweeping view of Pink Beach. To the right, there are gazebos available for relaxing.

Pink Beach Lombok is in a fairly remote area, which helps preserve its beauty.
There are still very few food or drink vendors in the area, and no accommodations yet. We are advised you to bring their own food. After spending time here, most pepole head straight back to the city without staying overnight.
