Wonderful Beach Lombok, Gerbang Wisata

Selong Belanak Beach

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pink 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
