Lembongan: Coast, Mangroves and Seaweed Farming

Nusa Lembongan is part of the Nusa Islands travel area, southeast of Bali across the Badung Strait. When looking for a hotel, the experiences that interest you can be a useful starting point: coastal spots, mangroves, seaweed farming or water activities.

Getting there and practical information

Speedboats from Sanur Harbor reach Mushroom Bay and provide access to Nusa Lembongan. Check the specific departure times before your trip. Since September 1, 2026, foreign visitors to the Nusa Lembongan tourism area have paid IDR 25,000 for adults and IDR 15,000 for children. Fees and collection procedures may change, so check the information again before traveling. The Yellow Bridge makes it easier to cross from Nusa Lembongan to Nusa Ceningan and also serves as a photo spot.

Coast and notable places

Dream Beach on Nusa Lembongan has white sand and waves from the direction of the Indian Ocean; swimming is possible there, although sea conditions can vary. At Devil’s Tears, a black cliff borders the Indian Ocean directly. Jungutbatu Beach offers sunset views. Dream Beach is known for its beach and swimming, Devil’s Tears for its striking coastal formation, and Jungutbatu Beach for its evening views.

Mangroves and seaweed farming

In the north of Nusa Lembongan, Mangrove Point is located by a mangrove forest with very clear seawater. The Mangrove Forest can be explored by canoe, steered by a local boatman. Mangrove Lembongan is a 5.6-hectare core zone in the Nusa Penida Marine Protected Area. As zoning may change, check the current status before visiting.

At low tide, seaweed farmers can be seen planting, tending and harvesting seaweed along the Ceningan Strait. Seaweed farming in Desa Lembongan along the Ceningan Strait has been developed as a tourist attraction and is part of village tours for guests on day cruises to Nusa Lembongan. Visitors can interact directly with the seaweed farmers; specific interaction opportunities may vary.

Snorkeling and marine life

Nusa Lembongan has snorkeling spots suitable for beginners; conditions vary from one spot to another. Snorkeling may offer the chance to see clownfish, turtles and manta rays. Swimming with manta rays is possible at Manta Bay on Nusa Lembongan. Wildlife sightings and encounters are not guaranteed.

Cultural sites and terrain

The Gala-Gala Underground House is a limestone house on Nusa Lembongan. It adds a named built attraction to the beach, mangrove and marine activities, and also appeals to those interested in cultural and architectural sites.

Panorama Point is in Jungutbatu Village, near the local harbor; access is via hilly terrain. Take the terrain into account when planning a visit to this spot.
