The waters surrounding Nusa Lembongan are crystal clear with incredible visibility found in few places around the world.

Jungutbatu Beach

This is the main bay in Nusa Lembongan, where the majority of boats from Bali arrive. It is home to Lembongan’s 3 surf breaks (Playgrounds, Lacerations & Shipwrecks) and is also great for SUP boarding. The northern stretch is ideal for “beach-time” with its white sand and turquoise waters, the inner lagoon is generally calm & protected by the outer reef.

Jungutbatu has the largest range of accommodation in regards to budget and style options including private villas, some of Lembongan’s most popular resorts & great value beachfront bungalows.

Considered by many as Lembongan’s BEST beach, Coconut Beach is nestled between Jungutbatu and Tamarind Bay. It is a favourite with everyone, ideal for families with kids who want to swim and play on the beach (there is also shade under the trees), perfect for snorkelling, and the place for surfers to paddle out to Playgrounds or onto Lacerations surf breaks. We have a range of villas, resorts & bungalows all in close walking distance or it can be accessed from Tamarind Bay via a track around the headland. If you are staying in Jungutbatu on “the hill” this will be your local beach.

Tamarind Bay

Located between Coconut Beach and Mushroom Bay, the beach is best suited for swimming and snorkelling on mid to high tide. The far northern end has a beautiful mini lagoon which is accessible on all tides, making it a stunning spot for beach lovers staying in Tamarind Bay. It is a great bay for SUP boarding, and on a larger swell a fun left hand wave can form from the headland across the middle of the bay.

Sandy Bay

Sandy Bay is home to Sandy Bay Beach Club and some of Lembongan’s favourite private villas. Sandy Bay is not a swimming beach, with large swells and strong currents. However, on mid-low tide it is the perfect for kids playing in the sand and rock pools. Sandy Bay Beach Club also offers an all day beach club and is renowned for it’s spectacular sunsets.

Dream Beach

Dream Beach is a stunning beach for relaxing, swimming is only advised for the experienced, as there can be rips, large swell and tides. It is a favourite stop off point for day trip visitors, so if you are looking for some solitude it is best to visit early mornings and late afternoons.

Nusa Lembongan Surf Guide

If you are looking for waves, look no further, surfing in Nusa Lembongan offers something for everyone. No matter your level, there are countless “best session of my life” kinds of days waiting for you. Nusa Lembongan has a few different surf breaks spread along our picturesque white sandy shores. Let us take you on a virtual tour of the best surf breaks in Lembongan and when to surf them.

CONDITIONS ARE EVERYTHING

The surrounding surf spots are incredibly tidal and condition dependant. At one moment, the ocean can resemble a lake, and the next it will look like something out of your favourite surfing magazine.
Strong currents are common around the higher tides, and extremely low tides will make most spots un-surfable. Be sure to take these factors into account before paddling out. If you are patient and choose the right window, you will score.

HOW DO I GET TO THE WAVES?

The surf is accessible by paddling, or alternatively catch a ride with a surf taxi or go with a surf school.

RESPECT THE LOCALS

The local surf crew on Lembongan are super experienced and know these waves like the back of their hands. They are friendly, they rip, and they will welcome you with open arms. No matter where we surf, the golden rule always applies; respect the locals. This is their home after all.

FROTHING! SO, WHERE SHOULD I SURF TODAY?

SHIPWRECKS

In the 70s a boat wrecked on the reef and gave the surf spot its name, Shipwrecks. A right-hander that breaks in deeper water that provides barrels and long drawn-out walls on its day. Shippies is geared towards the more experienced surfer and is primarily a shortboard wave. On smaller days, beginner surfers will find some fun, too. We recommend surfing at mid-tide on either side of the swing. If you are feeling unsure, check in with the local boys, they will provide you with friendly, solid advice.

RAZORS

Just left of Shippies is Razors. A left-hander that is perfect for beginner surfers looking to up-skill or take a lesson. Razors can be surfed on either side of the tide swing but is best avoided when it gets too low. Long, sectioney walls are on repeat, so there will be enough fun for everyone.
Remember to keep an eye out for the current that tends to creep in at a moment’s notice.

LACERATIONS

A natural wave pool, Lacerations will throw some of the most perfect right-hand barrels you have ever seen. Hollow, steep, long, and just plain epic! When the swell kicks up, Lacerations is best left for the more advanced surfers. Nestled above a sharp reef, the take-off at Lassos can be gnarly, but if you make it, you are in for the ride of a life time. Best surfed at mid-tide on either side of the swing
If spitting barrels is what you are looking for, then the lower it gets, the hollower it becomes.
A reef kiss from Lacerations is not uncommon for the dare-devils out there.

LESS GNARLY LACERATIONS

On the flip side, when conditions are friendlier and more manageable, Lacerations is perfect for a lesson or a fun free surf. The local surf schools will be happy to take you and provide a memorable surfing experience. Lacerations peels down the line and ensures long right hand rides, and perhaps even the odd left. The name is intimidating, but worry not, everyone is welcome at Lacerations. Match the conditions of the day with your surf level, and you will find some fun waves.

PLAYGROUNDS

A dreamy A-Frame located a short paddle away from Coconut Beach, Playgrounds is a surfer’s paradise. Split the peak with your mates and enjoy the breathtaking views of the limestone cliffs. On smaller days, Playgrounds can be enjoyed by any level of surfer. Having said that, when the swell turns up, Playgrounds is best enjoyed by those with more experience.

Higher tides bring about strong currents, so surfing Playgrounds at mid-tide is your best bet. Make sure to take your last wave before the reef starts to show. This is, after all, one of the sharpest and most lively reefs on the island.
Don’t let the name fool you.

MAHANA POINT

Just over the Yellow Bridge, Mahana Point is found on Nusa Ceningan Island. A left-hand point break that delivers long, faster walls. Due to its location, Mahana Point picks up a lot more swell, and can therefore be bigger and more tricky. The wave breaks beach-break style without a channel on either side. If Lembongan is flat, take your scooter over the bridge and you are likely to find a wave at Mahana Point. It’s also a great spot for non-surfers, with a Warung and great viewing area to watch surf.

We hope this has inspired you to follow our mantra of eat, sleep, surf, repeat.

There are a number of places you can exchange money on the island, including one on the main road in front of the Indiana gang in Jungut Batu. Most resorts and restaurants accept credit cards, however cash is required for scooter hire, snorkelling and other day trips. There are a number of ATMs on Nusa Lembongan, but please note they have a limit on the amount you can withdraw and do sometimes run out of money. So best to bring some CASH from Bali!

Getting to Nusa Lembongan with Rocky Fast Cruise

ROCKY FAST CRUISES

Getting to Nusa Lembongan with Rocky – we make it easy and stressfree

The captain announces that the plane will be landing soon at Denpasar Airport; you’ve got your headphones on playing your favourite song, your sunnies sit atop your head, and the excitement reaches an all-time high as the wheels hit the tarmac. Welcome to the Island of the Gods!

Let us give you a step-by-step about arriving in Bali and, more importantly, how to get to Nusa Lembongan with Rocky.

P.s. don’t miss 15% off for boat transfers when you book your accommodation with us!

IMMIGRATION

Upon reaching the arrival hall at Denpasar airport, proceed directly to the Visa On Arrival (VOA) counter and purchase a 30-day visa on arrival. The VOA will cost USD$35 (approx AUD$50) and is valid for 30 days, extendable for an extra 30 days.

AIRPORT PICK UP

Customs cleared! One step closer to throwing your towel down and soaking up the sun.

Make your way to the airport terminal exit, where you will see people lined up with signs, a Rocky Representative will be waiting and holding a placard with your name on it. Once you have found each other and are good to go, they will help you with your luggage and escort you to the vehicle.

AIRPORT → SANUR

The journey from the airport to the Sanur port is straightforward. It will take approximately 45 minutes to reach the ferry terminal, depending on traffic conditions and the time of day. The driver will make a quick stop at the Rocky office to collect tickets and then drop you directly in front of the new terminal, where you will wait for your boat to Nusa Lembongan.

No matter how many bags you bring, they are all included in the ticket price, and yes, surfboards are included, too!

HOTEL PICK UP

If you are already in Bali, the process is similar. Rocky Fast Cruises will arrange to collect you directly from your hotel and drop you off at the ferry terminal. A representative will make contact one day before your travel date to confirm the pick-up time and location. They offer pick-up services from all areas on mainland Bali and include pick-up in the price of the ticket for most locations. If you are staying in a more remote area, an additional fee will apply.

SANUR FAST FERRY TERMINAL

Rocky Fast Cruises has 4 boat transfers from Sanur to Nusa Lembongan per day. We will do our best to help you coordinate a transfer time with your flight arrival and estimated travel time between the airport and the ferry terminal. Most of the accommodations on the island have a check-in time of 2:00 pm, so an afternoon boat would be best.

The new terminal is a large, air-conditioned, and very comfortable space. Overhead screens display the arrival and departure times so that you can keep track of the Rocky Fast Cruises schedule. Free WiFi is available throughout the property, and you will find a variety of food and beverage stalls just outside the terminal entrance.

SANUR → LEMBONGAN

Boarding time, let’s go!

A boarding announcement will be made and direct you to the specific boarding location. Once you have reached the gate, an attendant will check and scan your ticket. The walk toward the boat is short, and the boarding process is effortless. Grab a seat towards the back of the boat if you can. The journey across the ocean will be less bumpy, closer to the stern.

Once the lines are loose, and the boat is set free, the final leg of your trip will begin.

TOUCH DOWN ON NUSA LEMBONGAN

The captain will dock the boat on the island’s eastern side at the Rocky Beach Club jetty. That’s right; Rocky Fast Cruises is a jetty-to-jetty transfer. Once you have arrived, a driver will drop you off at your new home away from home.

All land transportation on Nusa Lembongan is included in your ticket price.

Now, go on! Kick your feet up and enjoy being on island time!

DEPARTING PARADISE

Heading back to the mainland is just as easy as when you left. Check-out from your accommodation is usually at around 10 am, Rocky provides two morning transfers back to Sanur.

A Rocky representative will be in touch 1 day before departure to confirm the pick-up location and time.

LEMBONGAN → SANUR

Time to leave paradise!

A driver from Rocky Fast Cruises will collect you from your hotel or villa and provide transport to the Rocky Beach Club. Once the boat is loaded, the engines will start, and you will have one last opportunity to capture a picture of the beautiful island behind you.

The journey back to Sanur is roughly 30 minutes, providing enough time to scroll through your camera roll and reminisce on your wonderful holiday.

Upon arrival in Sanur, the staff will take your luggage to a car that will drop you at the airport for your flight home or to your Bali accommodation ready for the next part of your holiday.

Once again, all land transportation is included in your original ticket price.

Diving in Nusa Lembongan

PARADISE IS A PLACE UNDERWATER

The best way to observe fish is to become a fish.
Nusa Lembongan diving provides underwater adventures that are jaw-dropping and hard to replicate. Thousands of different marine species roam the reefs and deliver spectacles that will be imprinted in your memories for a long time to come.

THE 2 SEASONS

This turquoise utopia experiences two distinct seasons; the dry and wet seasons. Luckily, they are equally as good as each other. During the dry season (March – October) we experience cooler diving days. The water temperatures can drop below 20°C. On the flip side, during the wet season (November – February) the average temperatures are a toasty 25°C – 29°C.

I’M COVINCED, SIGN ME UP

If you are Scuba certified, great. If not, no problem. Nusa Lembongan is home to many multilingual dive centres that are ready to welcome you. Offering fun dives, Scuba diving courses, and Discover Scuba diving experiences for those who are looking for a quick taste. That’s right, you don’t need a Scuba certification to dive on Nusa Lembongan, simply the gusto to give it a try.

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE JOURNEY

Nusa Lembongan is located in the heart of the surrounding marine sanctuary, providing easy access to numerous dive sites. All within a short boat ride away, you will be back in the early afternoon in time for a cold coconut on the beach. The coast is lined with tall palm trees and picturesque limestone cliffs. Safe to say, the commute could be worse.

Paradise is a place underwater when diving in Nusa Lembongan.

OH, THE PLACES YOU WILL GO

Manta Point, being the furthest, but the most breathtaking journey is where the famous reef Mantas spend their days. They dance in slow motion and put on performances, unlike anything you have ever seen. Snorkellers can get a piece of the action, too. Simply throw on your mask, snorkel, and fins, and watch the show from above.

A must-do while visiting Nusa Lembongan.

Vibrant, colourful, and abundant are the words most used to describe Crystal Bay. It is home to a variety of fish, sea turtles, and the elusive Mola-Mola. Be sure to bring a camera, you don’t want to miss the photo opportunities that lie around every corner.

Heading further north is where we find the majority of our drift diving sites. The coast is filled with majestic sloping reefs, countless marine creatures, and the ride of a life time. Dropping below the surface is where it all begins. Mild to moderate currents usher us along the reef as we take in a live-action natural masterpiece.

ADVENTURE AWAITS

In our unique underwater world, there is something for everyone. Whether it is big, small, fat, or thin, whatever it is that you are looking for, we guarantee that you will find it while diving Nusa Lembongan.

No matter your level, beginner or divemaster, you will be beaming once you get back to the surface.

NOW is the time to contact a Dive Centre for more information about diving in Nusa Lembongan.
