Tenun motif Lombok
Saat ini sudah berubah wajah dari keadaan sebelumnya semenjak saat belum dikenal oleh wisatawan, untuk menuju desa Tenun Sukarara dari Mataram Anda harus menggunakan jalur jalan utama menuju kota Praya kira-kira 7 km sebelum mencapai kota Praya ada tanda arah yang bertuliskan SUKARARA berbelok ke arah kanan melalui jalan aspal yang tidak begitu lebar.
Dulu tapi sekarang jalan ini sudah diberi pekerasan dengan jenis aspal yang bagus dan penambahan pelebaran dan bahu jalan patokan nya ada masjid besar di pojok pertigaan kira-kira masuk 500 meter.
Selamat Datang Desa Wisata Tenun Desa Sukarara
Nah, di sinilah Anda akan melihat wajah desa Tenun Sukarara yang sudah berbeda, yang saya maksudkan sepanjang jalan kira-kira 2 km ke arah selatan terdapat Art shop yang dengan transparan menonjolkan hasil-hasil tenunan.
Suara-suara ciri khas desa ini yaitu suara “Belide” semacam benda berbentuk pedang dari kayu yang digunakan sebagai alat untuk merapatkan benang saat menenun “tak taktak taktak”.
Sepanjang desa ini akan sangat mendominasi dari pada suara-suara lainnya ada beberapa karyawan yang masih gadis, setengah baya dan tua di depan toko mendemonstrasikan proses cara pembuatan tenun ikat.
Wajah desa Sukarara
Di setiap teras Art shop masing-masing yang memiliki papan nama toko yang kita lihat Art shop ini bervariasi ukuran toko nya ada art shop yang besar, sedang dan ada yang kecil.
Silakan Anda mau berhenti di mana begitu Anda sudah menentukan pilihan tempat parkir di depan toko seorang karyawan toko akan menyambut Anda dengan senyuman seraya membukakan Anda pintu mobil kemudian mengucapkan salam selamat datang.
Guide lokal akan mempersilakan Anda masuk untuk melihat desain-desain serta warna-warna favorit yang Anda sukai, setelah melihat-lihat penjaga toko akan mengajak Anda ke depan toko untuk melihat demonstrasi cara proses menenun.
Bila Anda hendak ingin mencoba merasakan proses menenun Anda bisa minta untuk mencobanya dan akan ajarkan cara-caranya.

Setelah merasakan cara proses pembuatan Anda juga bisa tanyakan dari bahan benang apa yang digunakan untuk menenun dan bahan-bahan dasar pewarna apa yang digunakan untuk mewarnai nya.
Biasanya setiap pengunjung yang datang dan kelihatan ingin tahu persis tentang tenun ikat penjaga toko biasanya akan mengajak Anda untuk berkeliling ke dalam kampung yang berada di belakang toko.
Melihat lihat penduduk desa Sukarara yang sedang menjalani aktivitas menenun karena menenun di desa Sukarara merupakan mata pencaharian penduduk setempat.
Mata Pencarian Penduduk Desa Sukarara
Di saat senggang selain menenun penduduk juga merupakan petani dan buruh tani keunikan di desa Sukarara semua kaum wanita sepertinya wajib untuk bisa menenun.
Karena terbatasnya sumber mata pencaharian untuk membantu ekonomi keluarga karena di Lombok tidak ada pabrik industri seperti yang ada banyak di pulau Jawa.
Gadis Sukarara
Bahkan gadis-gadis di Sukarara tidak diperkenankan menikah oleh aturan awik-awik desa jika belum bisa menenun.
Karena ini merupakan awik-awik desa yang tidak boleh dilanggar dengan alasan jika tidak bisa menenun mau kasi makan apa nanti anak-anak mu, yah kata-kata ini yang sering saya dengar.
Setelah berkembangnya pariwisata di Lombok semakin banyak Turis asing maupun wisatawan domestik yang membeli hasil karya tangan dan sangat membuka peluang penghasilan masyarakat Sukarara selain dari hasil bertani.
Malah sebaliknya sekarang wanita-wanita di desa Sukarara menganggap pekerjaan menenun menjadi pekerjaan pokok daripada bertani di sawah.
Bahan Pewarna Produksi Kain Tenun Sukarara
Wisatawan di Sukarara
Kain tenun tidak bisa dibandingkan dengan kain biasa, kain tenun merupakan produk mahal yang proses pembuatan-Nya sangat teliti dan membutuhkan waktu lama dengan corak-corak yang sangat khas yang dipintal dengan diberi warna dari bahan alam.
Terutama warna-warna gelap untuk warna coklat kemerahan menggunakan serat pohon mahoni, batang jati untuk coklat muda, biji asam untuk warna coklat tanah dan batang pisang busuk untuk warna coklat tua.
Selain itu bahan anggur campuran kulit manggis untuk warna ungu sedangkan warna merah muda, kuning, hijau dan biru yang merupakan bahan bahan yang sulit di peroleh dari pewarna alam pengrajin memperolehnya dari bahan kimia yang dibeli dari toko untuk proses pembuatan bisa juga Anda meminta untuk mencobanya di sini.
Yah sekedar untuk berpose ambil gambar buat diposting di Facebook selain itu Anda juga bisa meminta untuk mengenakan baju ala orang Lombok atau berdandan ala pengantin Lombok yang berbahan kain tenun.
Ambil foto di belakang rumah panggung yang berbentuk lumbung padi seperti icon daerah lombok yang Anda kenal, nah tentu dengan foto-foto ini Anda bisa mengenang kunjungan Anda ke desa Sukarara.
Selong Belanak Beach is a line of beaches lined up very beautifully adjacent to the other beaches, lined up from the east from Kuta beach to the west in a row namely Areguling Beach, Mawun beach, Tepar beach, Semeti beach, Mawi Beach then Selong beach Belanak, speaking of the beauty of this beach, is a little better in my opinion compared to Kuta beach because Selong Belanak beach is a very beautiful bay decorated with cliffs and green hills along the eyes.
Selong Belanak beach
Selong Belanak is decorated with a number of green hilly islands in the middle of far from the beach which adorn this location, Selong Belanak beach is not supported by many accommodation facilities, only the only hotel that operates there, Sempiak hotel which can also use the hotel parking lot to park the vehicle because the hotel hopes from every visitor to eat at the hotel restaurant. This time there is already a hotel and several restaurants around the bay of Selong Belanak and on the hill far from the beach like the Selong Selo hotel
Selong Belanak south beach taken from Sempiak hotel
Previously the Selong Belanak beach was only popular for tourists who like surfing because the waves of Selong Belanak have high and long scrolls but it is a pity that the local community is less concerned about the cleanliness of the beach (first) even though we enter the area with a Rp 5,000 entrance ticket motorbikes, but individual guards only take money without giving away tickets at that time, meaning that the entrance fee is only for personal use not to be used to repair public facilities.
Currently the beach of Selong Belanak has changed a lot, it seems that there has been some land belonging to private resorts, because we cannot see the Selong Belanak beach from afar, now we have to enter the hallway to the beach with a fairly high wall with concrete fences, enter through the aisle by crossing the parking lot, not far from the beach there are paid public toilets with construction such as emergency buildings in the city by utilizing used containers as construction materials.
A common sight on the beach of Selong Belanak
In the coastal area besides we can relax around there are stalls where order coffee, ice coconut, snacks and others here also you can get a surf guide if you want to be escorted when surfing as well as can be taught his theories and tell the situation of the region the surrounding concerns the affairs of the waves but very rarely do people need their services.
I once talked with local residents who claimed to be surf guides, while looking at the ocean by narrowing their eyes, he complained about the lack of tourists visiting Selong Belanak beach (at that time) just tired of wishing from year to year like this there was no change he said, that back when I asked a few years ago but now visitors who come to the Selong Belanak beach seem to have risen and the beach is already clean, it seems that it has been coordinated by the area manager.
The stretch of white sand of Selong Belanak beach is very wide and flat
Besides not far from Selong Belanak beach, there is Semeti beach, which only needs to walk or drive 3 km to the east, Semeti beach is very popular with backpackers because I often monitor through Instagram media among young people who like to walk on posts his self-styled style at the edge of a steep rock on Semeti beach.
It is undeniable that Semeti beach has a very fantastic form for taking photographs because this beach consists of chunks of rock which are hit by waves and are unique to the rocks that soar around the coast so that the waves coming from the sea will enter and be confined by the steep rocks on Semeti beach.
Selong Belanak Bay from Selong Selo hotel
Then how do we get to Selong Belanak beach? if from the direction of the city of Mataram it seems very easy, just follow the path to the direction of Lombok International airport, at the intersection of Penujuak village there is a large mosque on the corner of the highway then turn right by turning a little far away, then you will find the traditional Penujak market turning the first asphalt road towards the Pengga dam, then after passing the market there is a bridge with Australian steel construction after turning right and continuing straight to the south, don’t turn, the road is relatively quiet, dominated by agricultural crops, usually corn, rice or tobacco.
Selong Belanak Beach from the Sempiak hotel parking lot
Before approaching the direction of the beach location of Selong Belanak the road will feel uphill and winding until later the beach of Selong Belanak will appear from above the height with its beautiful charm, there is a point of view on the right side of the road which is clearly visible to the vehicle, never there is a parking fee here, between 5 and 10 minutes here we go down as far as 4 km with the longest derivative road conditions and and if turned around it will be the highest climb on Lombok. If you have reached the bottom at the fork in the road you turn right 500 meters to the beach.
This beach is actually called the Tangsi beach, but because the pink sand is better known as the pink beach which is located in Sekaroh village, Jerowaru sub-district, East Lombok regency and is a row of steeply lined beaches and beautiful creeks which are still adjacent to the Tanjung Ringgit beach. 2 km only, Tanjung Bloam Beach 2 km.
Pink beach South East of Lombok
In the past, 15 km west of the coast of Heaven, bay of Ekas from here we could still see the mainland of Sumbawa island in the east of the island of Lombok.
The location of the pink beach from Mataram city 76 km from the town of Jerowaru Waru sub-district road access was still good 5 km of damaged roads not paved and a lot of hardening stones for loose roads.
Gravel constellations Travel or travel services are reluctant to go to this place because the terrain is very unfit and comfortable to travel.
At certain times in the wind and ocean currents that make this place a lot of rubbish here and it is unfortunate that the parties are not responsive to immediately cleaning the beach in this area there are no more restaurants, there are only many sellers who sell rice packs or rice stalls.
There are several gazebos on the beach location, but 15,000 / group charge if we use this facility
If you want to eat at the restaurant, you can go to the Jeva Bloam hotel which is not too far from the pink beach location while visiting Bloam Batu, the view is very good for photography but no one can enter because it has become a resort hotel area.
Enter by registering with the hotel security guard, which is IDR 500,000 / person for lunch packages and can be used for all hotel resorts and Bloam Batu or IDR 150,000 / person just to see the Jeva Bloam resort hotel and only be given soft drinks.
Pink Beach before dusk comes
The pink beach actually consists of 3 locations around the coast of Tangsi which is located in the bay area which is behind the hill which is seen from the main beach and there is another side called Segui beach but already far away.
The pink beach object is not too interesting if not want to explore to climb to the top of the hillside which can be seen from the pink beach just about 200 meters to the left and then up to the cliff.
Bloam Stone
There will be a stunning view of the beach including the beach bay next to it which is also pink in addition to the visible cliffs eroded abrasion and appear not far away from there, 3 gillies lined up beautifully.
Gili Petelu the location of snorkeling is very good because it is not too deep and can still seen a very good coral reef from the top of the boat trip.
If the air feels hot or rainy in the pink beach area there are 5 paruga or gazebos lined with shelter to take shelter but in a place in the upper corner there is a writing of IDR 15,000 / week to do this place .
We can find other Pink beaches if we visit via the Sea
But we will not pay a visit to the beach next to it, namely Tanjung Ringgit beach, which is only 2 km from the pink beach, here besides seeing beautiful coastal scenery, you can also visit Japanese heritage sites and other places of Japanese soldiers from the parking lot.
There are road directions that are only painted on a wall, namely: 300 M to Japanese Cannon and 500 M to Japanese cave but if you use a motorcycle, you can enter but watch out.
Tanjung Ringgit, before dusk comes
The terrain is rock limestone and pumice stone, it must be slow because there are many holes and clumps of rock that are most often used to make the front wheels.
Here high-rise beaches will look interesting and good for photos besides the mountain silhouette on the island of Sumbawa looks beautiful from a distance, the atmosphere of silence and calm only sounded quite strong wind but it didn’t matter because it was very hot by the hot sun so the wind was very needed.
Well, there are 2 Gilis that we can stop if we come via the sea
In addition there are other alternatives to get to the Pink beach by sea, namely by using a small-engine motorized boat with a capacity of 10-20 pasenger.
That we can pass through Telong-elong port or Tanjung port with a length of travel of more than 1 hour, but This trip does not have to go directly to the pink beach.
Because it would be great if we stopped at many choices of places here. From here we can visit pink islands and many more.
On Gili Marengke that looks unique from a distance because this fishing village is supported by a power plant from PT. PLN, which saw many air poles embedded in the air and electric wires protecting the Mariler islands or Gili Marengke to call the small island by the people of Lombok.
If we visit the Pink beach via the Sea then we will stop for a moment on Gili Pasir
Besides that, there is a sand island that is very famous now, namely low tide air compilation will appear.
It looks beautiful for us to take a photo in the middle of a white sand island, besides that there is a flagpole embedded from bamboo which currently has a blurred and torn red flag. – torn in the wind this place is not far from Gili Marengke just need to move a little with fig.
We can also stop on a small island called Gili Petelu or Gili 3 because there are 3 small islands not far from the Pink beachNow here we are at Gili Petelu, from here it looks Pink beach but it’s not clear
Lingkoq Datu Cliff, where is it…? Hi guys, how are you? I hope you are in a good state, so do we and we are all in good health, of course this is a pleasure that we never realized that health exceeds the abundant wealth we have, we can imagine if we are in abundant fortune but we are not in a state of physical health.
Surely all the possessions that we have will we drain for medical needs in the name of healthy, so let’s be thankful for the little things as long as we remain in a state of physical health of course.
Oops !!! sorry, is this actually opening “speech” or want to sell medicine? Hehehe…!!! Once again sorry, there is nothing wrong if we remind each other for health.
Lingkoq Nine or vagina well, Because it is considered to resemble a Vagina
OK, thank you for opening this blog, and I know what information you want to get here Lingkoq Datu Cliff, of course you want to know where is the cliff “Lingkok Datu right?
Before we go to the main topic to discuss the location of the Lingkoq Datu cliff natural park which said this person is a tourist location that is not “main stream” or anti main stream.
Of course “Main stream that is meant here is, tourist destinations that are already known by people in general or the tourist location-that’s all or tourist attractions commonly known to people- people in general or just translate it alone means yes, you like it already because of the problem of English translation I prefer to guess the mix of instinct.
What if your version. “it’s up to you, if you say Javanese. Now I guess again the language is right, so we emphasize the word “anti” which means no, so the location of the tourist attraction “Lingkok Datu cliff is not a common tourist location that means, so if you traveling to this place means very different or other than others.
If you come with a four-wheeled vehicle park around this mosque then walk as far as about 1 km straight follow the path do not turn left.
From my habit of guessing sometimes I often misinterpret the meaning of words, including the word Lingkok Datu which in the language of the Sasak Lombok tribe “Lingkoq” means well and “Datu” means ruler or government.
The word Datu is more popular during the kingdom or in the past in Lombok to “Lingkoq Datu” can be interpreted as a well owned by the royal government, even though it was not in the days of the kingdom remote people in Lombok still used Datu’s words to refer to the government.
“So I initially, assumed the word Lingkok Datu was the word Kingdom to refer to its location majestic spacious and large, so if people come to the cliffs look down like people see a well and this is a royal well until the local people give it the name with the title “Lingkok Datu (royal well), because of the magnificent things will be symbolized by words that are respectable or elegant.
This is my full box motorbike also up to the top of the cliff, the side box is full of cold drinks because we are preparing to get the heat on the site.
Apparently, my assumption was wrong after I came to the location and wanted to know the location of the Lingkoq Datu cliff turned out to be 1 km before entering the cliff site there were many Lingkoq or wells made by Datu or the government which numbered nine wells for the purpose of taking drinking water for buffaloes and cows.
The water is a little brackish because it is not too far from the beach, coincidentally not far from the location where we stand a lot, especially with cows under a shady Sengon tree, this is a statement from one of the people we found on the location, I don’t know exactly well keeper or shepherd.
Why do I say that because there are two wells lined by logs in one location which is approximately two acres wide and there are 2 large paruga, said the 65-year-old old man who just woke up from his sleep in gazebo in around this location.
There were nine wells scattered not far from the location of the main well which was lined with these logs, in other places there were some that had been stockpiled as well, he said. Then I asked again, why are these two wells being sacred with some people sir “I asked, he said there were oddities from these two wells.
The one was named the “Mame” or Male well and the other was named “Sumur Nine” or (female ) while I observed the location around there were potpourri from the pilgrims that still smelled of animism.
The beach is white sand but not too wide and seems to be rarely visited
It turned out that the more interesting the question, I asked again why was that name given, there was a Mame (male) well and a Nine well (female) ?
Yes, what is strange in this Nine well or the women’s well is a well that cannot be rounded when it is made or when dug to be given a round shape.
Until Tuan Guru (pastor) also witnessed the making of this well, it turns out that this one who can’t round him said, and this resembles a woman’s pub, sir ?
I stressed, he said yes. “In my heart I said yes it’s natural because the soil structure consists of rocky soil mixed with rocky soil.
This lump of rock must be sorted out, because the rock separates hard to form a structure with its own shape and the chunks of stone when removed are the easiest to form an oval and slightly pointed on one side to resemble a female vagina so that people around call it a well “Paws or Vaginal wells.
Ah, you know, I’m the basic guess worker. So, where did the name Lingkoq Datau come from? The Sekaroh villagers are only some people who know the term Lingkok Datu cliff but generally if you want to go to this location, people people are more familiar with the Penyisok beach.
I know again because not far from the shoreline there is a rainwater swamp that was dry at that time and the local people must often look for snails there because Sisok in Lombok means Snail.
We can still carry motorbikes to approach the Lingkoq datu cliff location.
Access to this location from the city of Mataram is still one lane with the aim to go to Pink beach just the same way on the Aro Inaq rural village.
The road to Pink beach must walk straight and lean towards the left while the path leading to Lingkoq Datu turns right at the hamlet fork ” Aro Inaq “with the characteristics of a transmigration settlement, the Aro Inaq rural village is very easy for you to recognize.
If you have ever been to Pink Beach, pay attention to the asphalt road, from the cut off asphalt road, about 3 km, continue to Pink beach turn right at the location of the transmigration settlement but do not forget to make sure you have lots of people constantly because you will be a little confused with the access to the beach.
Pay attention to the big road that can be traversed by the car but the condition is more damaged by the road the transmigration settlement boundary after that dusty road if it’s rainy season is sure this road will be slippery when viewed from the soil structure containing clay.
The location on Kaliantan beach, is still less well known to the city community, so that less visitors come to this location.
With this condition I am sure you will continue to stray if you do not diligently ask the locals, the local people look very good, friendly and always look excited showing the location of Penyisok beach.
So if it is still far before approaching the circle location, I suggest you ask where is the optician beach location because the name of the browser is better known as “ask” or ask both of them.
The location characteristics if you want to find a Prisoner of the mosque which looks old-fashioned which is not yet made, in this mosque there is a narrow left and can not enter the car straight with the characteristics of the Sengon tree lush and this is the road to the Lingkoq Datu beach.
At that time we were fooled by the width of the road and we turned left, if you came by car, park around this rock-walled mosque, lots of roomy locations but no shady places, when we turned left following the big road because there the four-wheeled vehicle just came out of the road.
The location we were aiming for seemed to be thudding as in the pictures until we were even more eager to be sure and finally circling on the hill like an overheating worm and finally we had to lower the ego to turn to the hut We passed by someone who was seen in the hut.
Then we went there to ask, when arrived at the hut came out a hooded mother with a very friendly welcome, I noticed you were passing by and I am sure you were wrong the way she added.
The path to the location is still a rocky land line.
Oh yes, we want to go to Lingkok Datu cliff madame, that’s where, said Mr. Helmi Subhan, who I was behind, the mother said, oh my God, if there was a road there, it was deadlocked when I pointed there.
Pointing to the rocky hill where we were circling earlier We went through this, pointing towards the Sengon tree again, the location was there, there was a small entrance, said the middle-aged mother.
“We also said goodbye, and thanked this friendly mother and then crossed the path.
Not infrequently our motorbikes ran aground in the dry rice field and on the wheels of my motorbike there were a lot of thorny bushes wrapped around the front wheels.
Even after arriving at the shady Sengon tree we were still confused and this was wrong for many times so my experience was enough to be a lesson because if I explain how many times wrong it seems it will frighten you to come here and finally we also have to take shelter and drink immediately.
The throat really feels thirsty, we see Gazebo seems right for resting at this location we met the old man 65 years as I mentioned above, so it seems like the mother showed us the location to the location of the well called Lingkoq Datu instead of showing us the location of the cliff we are looking for or what we are heading for.
As a result of the path of bushes of thorns, they also wrapped around the motorbike wheels.
After we finished chatting with the old man, we were also directed to follow two small children riding a motorcycle carrying water with a hallmark in one of the nine wells.
“After we passed, finally we saw the presence of some wells mentioned by the old man, sorry we forgot to ask the name of the father that.
Then we followed in the footsteps of the motorbike motorbike races which were not too often passed, then after we arrived at Penyisok beach to take pictures.
It was very unpleasant because there were a lot of rubbish sent from the river, then we struggled to control the motorbike to climb up the thick hills and in the end it was fun because the location we were heading to had met. We had to log on the cliff and we share it on YouTube.
You can watch it with a search with the title LINGKOQ THE COOL BEACH IN LOMBOK, after we finish here we return with another destination towards Cemara beach in Seriwe hamlet which is still adjacent to Kaliantan beach but we had to turn back towards the village in Aro Inaq hamlet until we ran the asphalt again for 3 km and turned left towards Kaliantan beach.
The action paid for stress on Kuta beach, because to find Lingkoq Datu really had to struggle.
Before arriving at Kaliantan beach, we relax first on Cemara beach for a while, enjoying the wind and the sounds of the birds perched on the pine trees, which we certainly are hungry.
In the vicinity of the location there are no stalls or restaurants, finally we only eat the snacks we bought at Alfamart before, before leaving we had a chance to take pictures on Cemara beach and then visit Kaliantan beach which is not far from Cemara beach about less than 2 km.
After that we went home happily through the alternative route to Kuta beach because we wanted to know to what extent the development of the Special Economic Zone (SEZ), the lane was very quiet from motorized traffic.
So we enjoyed the trip because it crossed the Ekas bay and Awang bay until arriving at Kuta beach it was already around 5 o’clock in the afternoon and we were only here for an hour.
The Paving Blog installation project was running and the atmosphere was still a bit chaotic and it was finished here finally we paid Rp 5,000 parking / motorbike then Bye Bye THE MANDALIKA.
The location of Mawun beach can be said to be located between Kuta beach and Selong Belanak beach in the south coast of Lombok which is a series of beautiful and enchanting beach beaches which is certainly a white sandy beach area flanked by green rock hills if seen during the rainy season, mostly the beach is covered by rock hills so we can’t see if driving between Kuta beach to Selong Belanak beach are only a few fields that appear but very few.
To get to this location can take the same path when heading to Selong Belanak beach if you already know the way to Selonng Belanak beach and this is a little further but to be more precise you can see the instructions from google map, approximately 55 km distance to the route not so flat with a pretty good road contour but winding and up and down, if you use google map then you will be shown to cross a little in front of Lombok International airport then turn right following the asphalt path which will lead to a traditional market and turn right slightly towards the Mawun beach gate.
The directions are very clear, we see if you have arrived around the location because you have been given instructions on the traffic signs very clearly, which is certain if there is a road leading to the south you can see the writing there, if it has arrived at the location at the entrance to the beach you will face first with the gate keeper, of course for the affairs of the entrance ticket, for one motorcycle is charged IDR 10.000 and IDR 20.000 can be written on the entrance ticket.
the color of the water and the Mawun bay sand is truly enchanting
In accordance with the value paid seems not to lose because there are already facilities that have been packaged by the manager, on the beach there is a gazebo lined up to relax as well as around the toilet, flowers arranged a little so that it can boost the atmosphere, there are also shady parts for sleeping lazily if you bring a mat, there are also vendors of snacks, canned drinks and young coconut for IDR 15.000 / one fruit.
I can’t carve a story about this location but I suggest you should just visit this location, maybe you can see it in google first, the shape of the beach, but it’s definitely different if we look at the picture with us looking directly at the location, broadly speaking This beach is a bay located on the south coast with blue and green water color, maybe the green part of the beach is, besides that the water is relatively calm and certainly the sand is clean white, the hill that flanks the bay looks very beautiful.
Bay of Mawun from the top view
If you visit this location, you can also visit other beaches as well as one way, namely: Selong Belanak, Mawi Beach, Semeti Beach, Areguling Beach, Tepar Beach and the eastern end, Kuta Beach, of course, choose one of them because you remember the time also all roads will lead to a road not far from Lombok International airport until the benchmark to get to this location is very easy to stay to Lombok airport then ask the local people to go to Mawun beach, of course there are 3 alternatives to show.
