Pink Beach — Attraction in Jerowaru

Pink beaches are rare, that’s why there are only a few pink sandy beaches around the world! But there are a whopping two of them in Indonesia! The most famous one is in Komodo National Park, the other lesser known Pink Beach is in Lombok. Located in a remote area of Lombok’s east coast, Pink Beach is not an easy place to visit. It’s an off the beaten path destination, which is a bit difficult to reach. But mostly, when a place is difficult to reach, it means there’s a big chance that you will have the place for yourself!

I have been to this spot for about 6 times. Most of them, I was crossing through the sea and starts from Elong-Elong port or Tanjung Luar port. Both of these port, located at East Lombok district, takes you about 2.5 hours ride from Mataram city. It takes you shorter time, if you come visit this spot, rite away after landing at Lombok International Airport (LIA, with IATA code 'LOP'). Along with this spot, in one day tour, you will also stop by at Gili Petelu. Here is the snorkeling spots. You may spent about 1 to 2 hours here. Next, you can go ahead to Pink beach. Here, your lunch is waiting. As this spot has beautiful sunset, you can spent all your afternoon here. Or, if you can not wait for the sunset, you can visit the third spots. Knowned as Gili Pasir. This place was only shows up when the sea surface was letter. These one day tour, takes about 5 to 6 hours. The boat may cost you at 1.5 million IDR, consisted of lunch package, 1 snorkeling set (mask + life jacket), two boatman, for minimum 2 pax...

I visited Pink Beach seven years ago. It was beautiful. It does have a pink hue to it. You can see it with the proper light and water. But don't go there thinking that it will be obviously pink. If you see a picture and the sand is pink, it was manipulated. I visited Pink Beach again today. It was okay. I hiked a tiny bit, relaxed on the beach and did some snorkeling. Seven years ago this was great. Today was okay. You can see my two pictures of what Pink Beach was and now is. The beach used to be empty. Today, around noon, boats began to pour in, bringing people to the beach. I counted 29 boats at one time. As I was snorkeling, I kept popping my head up, making sure that the many incoming boats see me.

I would like to add this to my review: you see the picture of the beach, seven years ago, green and lush, the photo from 2024, the beach is brown and dead. A local told me that this may just be because of this being a dry season. So hopefully it will be green and lush...
