This serene coastal gem is celebrated for its striking, blush-colored sands, made uniquely vibrant by a mixture of white sand and red coral fragments.

Apart from its visual allure, Pink Beach is home to an incredible array of marine life, making it ideal for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts. Divers often enjoy encounters with an array of colorful fish, graceful manta rays, and even playful dolphins. The warm waters and the vibrant coral reefs create an underwater paradise for nature enthusiasts. Beyond the marine adventures, the surrounding area invites hikers and nature lovers with trails that offer breathtaking panoramas of the coast and the rich flora and fauna of Lombok. As a cultural note, the beach holds significance for locals, known as ‘Pantai Merah’ in Indonesian, adding to its charm and allure.
