TOP BEACHES
The 10 Best Beaches in Lombok
Not a curated best-of list, this is simply the set of beaches that come up constantly in searches, conversation, and social media, the ones that make sense to visit first. Ratings reflect sand quality, water clarity and how well each beach delivers on its main purpose, not facilities or access, which you'll find covered in each full guide.
KUTA · SOUTH LOMBOK
Tanjung Aan
The pepper sand beach, a wide double bay split by a small headland, with just enough beach club polish to stay comfortable.
Perfect for:
SEKAROH · EAST LOMBOK
Pink Beach 2
Soft, rose-tinted sand and calm, clear water, quieter and finer-grained than its more famous neighbour, Tangsi Beach.
Perfect for:
SELONG BELANAK · SOUTH LOMBOK
Selong Belanak
Wide white sand and gentle, sandy-bottomed waves, the easiest place on the island to learn to surf.
Perfect for:
MAWUN · SOUTH LOMBOK
Mawun Beach
A sheltered horseshoe bay between two green headlands, calm mornings and very few vendors.
Perfect for:
MALAKA · WEST COAST
Nipah Beach
A working fishing beach north of Senggigi, clear water, occasional turtles, and the best grilled fish on the coast.
Perfect for:
MONTONG AJAN · SOUTH LOMBOK
Torok Beach
A deep, hidden bay past Selong Belanak, still quiet enough that a Saturday buffalo herd is the closest thing to a crowd.
Perfect for:
TAMPAH · SOUTH LOMBOK
Tampah & Lancing
A long, quiet crescent bay beneath green hills, still peaceful, with a beach bar, café, and paragliding launch moving in.
Perfect for:
ARE GULING · SOUTH LOMBOK
Are Guling
A quiet reef bay at the end of a palm-lined valley, still one of the least crowded breaks on the coast.
Perfect for:
SENGGIGI · WEST COAST
Senggigi Beach
Lombok's original beach town, still the west coast's most complete base, with sunset views toward Bali.
Perfect for:
KUTA · SOUTH LOMBOK
Kuta Beach
The town everyone bases themselves in, less about the beach itself than the entire stretch of coastline it opens onto.
Perfect for:
BEYOND THE TOP TEN
This list will keep growing as the coastline gets documented, one bay at a time.
These ten are the beaches people ask about first. For everything else, from quiet coves to surf-only breaks, explore the full coastline by region or by what you actually want to do when you get there.
