 Selong Belanak beach is a lovely white sand beach, perfect for novice surfers in Lombok. We headed west from Kuta and here is all the information for visiting.

How to get to Selong Belanak Beach in Lombok

Selong Belanak beach is almost a 30 minute drive west from Kuta, the main tourist spot in Lombok. 

We always decide to hire scooters, which start at almost 50,000 IDR per day and discover ourselves. These can generally be hired from your accommodation or they will point you in the right direction.

Another option is to hire a driver, which is quite popular for day trips around Lombok, and they start at around 500,000 IDR per day. 

What should you expect at the Selong Belanak Beach

If you are planning to learn to surf in Lombok, then Selong Beach is your place.

The beach itself is made of white sand and though the water is not the neatest, it doesn’t matter to the people that visit. 

That is because most of the visitors to Selong Beach are heading west on beginner surf lessons or to practice their new hobby!

Many boats are packed on the shore with locals cooking fresh fish. The steady waves keep on rolling and we sat and watched for a while. The locals appeared super friendly and patient while assisting beginner surfers. Hence if you are planning to learn to surf in Lombok, this is one of the best places to try.
