Every beaches video worth watching in Lombok — in one place

Lombok’s beaches are where the corpus converges most sharply against Bali: white sand instead of the volcanic black sand that dominates Canggu, Seminyak and Kuta Bali, and noticeably fewer crowds [via 17 Things I]. The headline names are Kuta Lombok and Tanjung Aan on the south coast, picked out for soft white sand and turquoise bays, with the southern coastal areas singled out as the island’s surf zone [via Indonesia Top 10]. Senggigi on the west coast gets the consensus “calmer base” nod for swimming and sunsets, while the south is where both beginner and intermediate surfers go for consistent waves [via Indonesia Top 10]. One creator frames Lombok as “Bali decades ago before it became a tourist magnet”, which is the useful mental model: the same Indian Ocean coastline, less infrastructure, fewer beach clubs [via 15 Most Amazing]. The pink-sand beach on the south-east coast is the genuine novelty here — coral fragments tint the sand, and it sits in the same trip as the surf beaches [via Amazing Places to].

The “Indonesia Top 10 Best Places to Visit 2026” video is the single best beach-by-beach reference — it names Senggigi, Tanjung Aan and the southern surf zones in one pass. Pair it with the “15 Most Amazing Places to Visit in Indonesia” clip, which makes the explicit Bali-versus-Lombok comparison; together they tell you which beaches to prioritise and why those beaches read differently from Bali’s. The “Amazing Places to visit in Indonesia” video adds the pink beach and Selong Belanak context the other two skip. Skip the generic Bali beach roundups — they only mention Lombok in passing.
