Selong Belanak, located on the bay of the same name, is the place to go if you like white sandy beaches. This crescent-shaped beach is one of the best on the island. It’s not a very long beach, but close enough to a fishing village for exploration, buying refreshments or renting a boat to get in a little fishing. The water is clear with waves that aren’t as high as other Lombok beaches, which makes it nice for swimming. The beach can get crowded during the holidays, but otherwise it’s quiet place to relax.
