Lombok Pink Beach: What to Expect and How to Get There

Lombok's Pink Beach, locally known as Pantai Tangsi, is one of the island’s most mesmerizing and unique natural wonders. Famous for its blush-colored sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters, this remote beach is a favorite for travelers seeking beauty, peace, and an off-the-beaten-path adventure.

What Makes the Sand Pink?

The sand at Pink Beach gets its color from microscopic organisms called Foraminifera, which have reddish-pink shells. When these mix with the white sand and tiny coral fragments, they create a stunning pink hue — especially vibrant in the sunlight. This rare phenomenon makes Pink Beach one of only a few pink sand beaches in the world.

What to Expect at Pink Beach

Don’t expect crowds or commercialization here. Pink Beach is still largely untouched by mass tourism, making it ideal for those looking for a tranquil escape. You’ll find a quiet coastline with gentle waves, colorful coral reefs just offshore, and views of green hills surrounding the bay.

It’s the perfect spot for snorkeling, sunbathing, and photography. The marine life is rich, and visibility underwater is generally excellent. Bring your own snorkel gear if you can, as rental services are very limited in this remote area.

There are only a few warungs (local food stalls), so packing snacks, water, and sun protection is highly recommended. The facilities are basic — this is part of the charm, but also something to be prepared for.

How to Get to Pink Beach

Pink Beach is located in East Lombok, around 2.5 to 3 hours from Mataram or Senggigi by car. The journey takes you through scenic rural villages and hilly landscapes. The last part of the road can be rough, so a 4WD or experienced driver is highly recommended.

There are two main ways to reach Pink Beach:

1. By Car or Motorbike

You can rent a car or motorbike and drive to the beach yourself. The route goes through Sekaroh village in Jerowaru district. Make sure your fuel tank is full, and consider using offline maps as the signal can be weak in some parts.

2. By Boat

Some travelers prefer to take a boat from Tanjung Luar harbor, which is about a 30- to 45-minute ride to Pink Beach. This option often includes stops at nearby hidden beaches and snorkeling spots, making it perfect for a full-day excursion.

If you're not comfortable navigating on your own, booking a guided private tour is the safest and most convenient option. It includes hotel pickup, a local guide, lunch, and plenty of time to enjoy the beach without worrying about logistics.
