Senggigi Beach was Lombok’s leading tourist destination for many years but when the ferry point to the Gili Islands moved to Bangsal Harbour, a half hour drive further north, much of the tourist trade moved with it. Which is a pity as it’s white sand beaches, clear blue seas and picture perfect sunsets with views across to Bali’s Mt Agung are among the best you will find in Lombok. There are a number of beach-front cafes at the northern end of Senggigi Beach where you can eat, drink and swim to your hearts content but for the best sunset view, head to the Kila Beach Bar at the southern end of the bay. There’s quite good snorkelling there too. When it’s not shrouded in cloud you can see Bali’s mighty Mt Agung in the far horizon, an imposing sight and Instagram worthy photo-op.
