You step off the weathered launch at a narrow harbor and the sea immediately rearranges priorities: salt, sun, and a buoyant sense of being somewhere remote but reachable. The boat hums toward Sekaroh’s Pink Beach and the cliffs of Tanjung Ringgit, where coral fragments tint the sand a soft rose and the waves sculpt small coves that dare you to explore.

You step off the weathered launch at a narrow harbor and the sea immediately rearranges priorities: salt, sun, and a buoyant sense of being somewhere remote but reachable. The boat hums toward Sekaroh’s Pink Beach and the cliffs of Tanjung Ringgit, where coral fragments tint the sand a soft rose and the waves sculpt small coves that dare you to explore.
This stretch of Lombok’s southeast has long been shaped by coral growth, currents and seedier histories of local fishing communities. The pink hue comes from crushed red foraminifera and coral flakes mixed with white sand; geological action and sunlight make the color most vivid at mid and low tide. Local villages—Jerowaru and Sekaroh—offer quiet cultural glimpses: simple coastal life, occasional shrines, and boat-builders repairing nets.
Expect a mixed day: a short off‑road drive across arid coastal scrub to viewpoints, a boat ride past limestone outcrops, and snorkeling stops at shallow reefs around Gili Petelu and Gili Pasir. Water temperature is warm year-round; visibility varies with season and recent rain. The cliffs at Tanjung Ringgit provide airy vistas; the beach itself is best approached by foot from the boat or a short hike down a switchback.
Practical guidance: arrive hydrated, bring reef‑safe sunscreen and a fitted mask for better snorkeling, and plan for uneven terrain on cliffs and sand. If you want photos, aim for early morning or late afternoon light—midday makes the pink less pronounced. Operators typically include lunch, bottled water and snorkel gear; check boat safety briefings and tide timing before you go.
