Lombok’s Pink Beach, a Hidden Gem in the Island of a Thousand Mosques

When it comes to pink-sand beaches, your immediate thought will mostly be the gorgeous Pink Beach in Labuan Bajo, East Nusa Tenggara. It’s undeniable that its irresistible allure makes it very famous among tourists, domestic and foreign alike.

It’s time to say hello to another Pink Beach in Indonesia, located in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara. However, the difficult access makes this destination struggle to attract visitors. So, it’s fair to say that this pink-sand beach is a hidden gem of Lombok, the Island of a Thousand Mosques.

No less gorgeous than Labuan Bajo’s Pink Beach, this beach also offers a mesmerizing view that will please the eye with its pink sand.

You may want to visit Lombok’s Pink Beach if you plan on a vacation to a pristine destination. Now, let’s dive into some useful information about the beach before you travel to this tourist spot.

The Allure of Lombok’s Pink Beach

Lombok’s Pink Beach is fairly remote on the eastern part of Lombok Island. The exact location is Temeak Hamlet, Serewe Village, Jerowaru Sub-district, about 82 kilometers from the city of Mataram.

Quite secluded, the gorgeous beach is still unspoiled. The beach promises a breathtaking view where the blue-green sea blends with the pink-sand beach, a scenic view that is very pleasing to the eye.

Lombok’s Pink Beach is also famous for its rather small sea waves, making it safe for you to relax on the shore and enjoy the sea breeze while waiting for the beautiful sunset.

On the right side of the beach stands a hill that enhances the scenic view. If you love taking photographs, don’t forget to capture the moment when wooden fishing boats moored on the beach with the beautiful hill in the background.

Things to Do at the Beach

Because the sea waves are relatively calm, there are many exciting activities you can do at Lombok’s Pink Beach, such as:

Snorkeling

Create a memorable experience here through snorkeling. You can see the beautiful coral reefs and colorful small fish that inhabit the coastal area.

Due to limited facilities and infrastructure, you should bring your own snorkeling gear. No snorkeling or diving equipment rental service is established nearby at this moment.

Swimming

Besides snorkeling, you can just swim and enjoy the crystal clear water offered by Lombok’s Pink Beach. With relatively calm waves, it’s safe for you to play in the water with your children and loved ones.

Island Hopping

Island hopping is ideal for a more adventurous experience. It offers you the opportunity to explore the small islands nearby. Many fishermen rent out their boats to take you to other attractive spots.

How to Reach the Pink Beach

Located in a fairly remote location, the trip to Lombok’s Pink Beach can be quite challenging. Currently, you can travel to the beach by land and by sea.

By land

If you choose to go by land, make sure to use a tough and highly reliable vehicle. A car is highly recommended for this trip, as you will be passing through tropical forests with dusty gravel roads.

The Pink Beach is 82 kilometers away from Mataram, or about a 2.5-hour drive. You can rent a car with a driver at TRAC, so figuring out the best course is unnecessary. Enjoy a safer, more comfortable, and stress-free trip that’s come your way.

By sea

Traveling by sea is another alternative for you. First, head to Tanjung Luar Port, located 66 kilometers away from Mataram.

From there, continue your trip to the pink beach by boat. The boat rental fees vary.

A round-trip private boat may cost you at least Rp900,000. However, public boats are also available. You will be charged Rp30,000 to Rp40,000 for a one-way ticket.
