When I rented the scooter the previous day, I made sure that it was one that came with a surfboard rack. I put the board on the scooter, and the rest of the group prepared to leave. Brandon drove Jocelyn, and Indi drove Ashley. We all drove to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/WrVtc2JBXhWdVBVR7\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-rich-links=\"{&quot;fple-t&quot;:&quot;Tanjung Aan Beach&quot;,&quot;fple-u&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/WrVtc2JBXhWdVBVR7&quot;,&quot;fple-mt&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;first-party-link&quot;}\">Tanjung Aan Beach<\/span><\/a> for the second time. The beach is covered by businesses. Many of them are restaurants (warungs) that also rent surfboards and offer umbrellas and beach chairs for their customers. We chose one of these warungs based on solid Google Maps reviews.<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Brandon and Indi rented longboards for 50k IDR each, and we paid 50k IDR each for a boat ride out to the break. It&#8217;s possible to paddle out, but the 700-meter swim convinces most surfers to pay for a ride.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The surf spot was packed with kooks, but it was still super fun. Tanjung Aan is a popular place to learn to surf so there were a lot of surf schools and new surfers in the lineup. I&#8217;m a high-ranking kook myself, so I suppose I can&#8217;t complain. We spent about 1 hr 40min surfing, and I caught three waves with the 7\u201910 board and one with a monofin longboard. It was super fun despite the crowd. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The waves were incredibly gentle. They were 3-4 feet tall but only rarely fully broke. They just crumbled over and then turned back into a swell after a while. It made the waves difficult for me to catch because it was hard to get the placement right. The experience was something I had dreamed of doing but never realized it. The whole thing &#8211; throwing a board on a bike, riding to the beach, taking a boat out to a break, and surfing long, clean waves in a foreign country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cb43588 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-gallery\"

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We woke up late &#8211; 10:00 am. We had such a good time the previous day that we decided to extend our time in Kuta. We set out with the same plan as the day before. Again, we took the scooters to <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/9FNYYFqT6pEcw1vk6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tanjung Aan Beach<\/a> to surf. We went to <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/A9GNpvBFezQs7iDM7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dede Warung<\/a> in DD\u2019s honor. We chilled on the lounge chairs for a while because the surf looked pretty small, and one of the guys said it would get bigger with the tide going out in 2 hours. Indi and I were the only two who wanted to surf, so we rented some boards and borrowed rash guards from the warung. I rented a 9.4 longboard, and she rented a foam board.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The waves were way less gentle this time around, and it was just as packed. It felt like I spent most of the time paddling. I did, however, catch several waves that were an extremely long ride. I wore a rash guard with my sun shirt over it and avoided nipple rash. I messed up in attempting to dodge the crowds and ended up in the splash zone with waves that took me too far in to shore. I should have caught the waves where everyone else was, despite it being a zoo. Still, it was a great experience and it makes me happy to think back on surfing in Lombok.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

Our driver, Wan, like the awesome dude that he is, stayed with us until we were sure that we were in the right location. Ashley booked our stay on AirBnb, but the listing information wasn&#8217;t right. To make a long story short, we were forced to book two bungalows instead of sharing one. We thought we were staying in some cheap bungalows to be close to good surf, but they ended up being a lot more expensive than we had anticipated. The owner wasn&#8217;t there to help resolve the issue. It was late, we were tired, and we just bit the bullet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-style: inherit; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">The hotel is a series of bungalows on the beach with a nice pool. There are bug nets around the beds, but they didn&#8217;t do anything to save us from being eaten alive each night.

It gets very confusing because there are at least 5-6 beaches in the same area, and they&#8217;re all called &#8220;Pink Beach&#8221; on Google Maps. We ended up semi-lost along the way, with no cell service. So, we were on the side of the road when a lady stopped and got us to follow her to the pink beach. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The woman turned out to be a restaurant owner for one of the shacks on the beach. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Entrance to the beach costs 10K IDR\/pax. We had to drive down a pretty sketchy, steep road to get to the beach. If you&#8217;re a beginner scooter driver, you may want to reconsider this one. It was <em>a<\/em> pink beach, but it was pretty weak. The sand was only barely pink. There were also bands of trash monkeys roaming the area. There were companies offering boat tours, but we had just been on one yesterday, so we decided to just chill on the sand. We heard from someone who went that it was amazing. We stayed at this beach too long, in hindsight. Mainly because &#8220;Pink Beach #2&#8221; was much better.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cc0c8d2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"cc0c8d2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5041a06 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5041a06\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cb34f41\" data-id=\"cb34f41\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2d40b96 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2d40b96\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Pink Beach #2<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-325e87a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"325e87a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/DJI_0337-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-11889\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/DJI_0337-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/DJI_0337-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/DJI_0337-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/DJI_0337-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/DJI_0337-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/DJI_0337-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8f96292 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8f96292\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We got back on the scooters and drove up the steep hill and back down the road from where we came. We made it to a fork in the road where one way turned into a dirt road. According to Google Maps, the dirt road was the only way to get there. Calling it a &#8220;dirt road&#8221; is generous. The road is not maintained at all, so far as I could tell. It was partially covered in small rocks or gravel. There was a small groove in the road the exact width of a scooter tire from those that brave the road. If you can stay in the groove, it&#8217;s smoother sailing, but maintaining the wheels within a 6-inch wide groove for thirty minutes isn&#8217;t easy. It wasn&#8217;t for me, anyway. I had to lock in completely for the entire ride. I have experience riding scooters, I rode one regularly for a year in Puerto Rico. Even with that experience, this drive spooked me. I was white knuckling it all the way there and back. I am shocked that Brandon and Indi (the other two driving) never laid their scooters down. All that to say, don&#8217;t drive a scooter to this beach unless you are very confident.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The road eventually led us to the better <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/8e4gZeC34ZQ28BLf7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pink beach<\/a>. As we got off our bikes, I saw a lady smiling at us from her warung. Sometimes, business owners can be pushy about getting people in the door. Her mild approach won me over. I was hungry, so I decided to try some food from her warung. Like other warungs built near a beach, it appeared to be built with cheap materials like bamboo and palm fronds. I ordered nasi goreng (fried rice). Eventually, Brandon, Ashley, and Jocelyn decided to order the same thing. Indi ordered her favorite Indonesian dish &#8211; mie goreng. The food was good, and the coconut I ordered was as good a coconut as I have ever had, although not cold.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f3447bc elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f3447bc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"896\" src=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/pb-1024x896.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-11902\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/pb-1024x896.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/pb-300x263.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/pb-768x672.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/pb-1536x1344.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/pb-2048x1792.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/pb-14x12.jpeg 14w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a780e2a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a780e2a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>After eating, I walked to the beach with my coconut in hand.

Indi, Jocelyn, and I decided to check out one more beach before going back. We drove to the nearby <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/5WC6J8W8cLD1tsE69\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Paradise Beach<\/a>. We parked our scooters as close as we could get, but we had to walk a while to make it to the sand.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The beach itself wasn&#8217;t anything special. Likely because it was low tide, which really limits the area where you can get in the water. The low tide also exposed some tide pools, which aren&#8217;t very pretty. They were covered in hundreds of hermit crabs. It was a nice sunset, though. We sat on the sand and enjoyed the view. A bunch of kids came up to me and tried out the few English words they knew. They also requested a selfie with me and my Instagram handle (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/westindiestravel\/\" target=\"_blank\"

We were outside at 6:00 am. We each grabbed a longboard. We boarded the boat to take us to the surf spot at 6:15 am. We were on the boat with a South African and his son, an Aussie, and a Frenchman. They all went to a bigger surf spot, and we got dropped off at a smaller break. It was a pretty rough surf session, honestly. I caught very few waves. Soon after we arrived, boatloads of people showed up. Competition for the waves was intense. It got much worse when the surf schools showed up. Beginners were being pushed into almost every wave. It was maddening. I caught a couple of decent waves, but I should have been more assertive. We were late in getting picked up, and I thought they had forgotten about us for a while. On the way back, the Aussie convinced me I needed to visit Australia, particularly the west coast and, more specifically, the Ningaloo Reef. I&#8217;ll get there in the next 5 years!

There are a few buildings around the main building making an &#8220;L&#8221; shape. Next to the buildings is a pool area and a gazebo. Further down a rough cement walkway is a row of bungalows. They felt new and very nice. I ordered some food and got in the pool. The food took a while, but we were just chilling poolside, so the wait didn&#8217;t bother me. The beef rendang I ordered was incredibly good, so much better than I had anticipated!

We saw some black monkeys right away. I&#8217;m not sure what species they were, but it was cool. The monkeys were super close to the fence, so technically, we didn&#8217;t even need to enter the forest to see them. In fact, if you just want to see these monkeys, just look at them from the road. The fact that you have to pay to enter a random forest area is pretty lame. If you wanted to, you could find an entrance where you don&#8217;t need to pay.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We paid the entrance fee to enter and took a closer look at the monkeys. We couldn&#8217;t stand still for too long because of mosquitoes. We then hiked for a long time without seeing anything besides mosquitoes. We finally came upon some macaques and then decided to turn around.

I have lived in Caguas, PR with my wife Indi since December of 2021 when we moved here for her PA program. More specifically, we live in a small, lovely home perched on the side of a mountain that affords us a beautiful view we never tire of. The small road off the highway to get to our house has eroded to an alarming extent, and will eventually collapse, but to live in such a place is well worth the risk. By day, lush, green mountains are visible extending from a small valley. A river cuts a path between the mountains; a short ride on my moped can take me to a spot in the river where a 6 ft waterfall flows into a round pool where green herons fish and locals cool off. By night, a giant white cross on the hill just below us lights up, on Wednesday\u2019s the sound of the church\u2019s hymns makes its way to our porch. The night comes alive with the sound of frogs and insects and the occasional Puerto Rican screech owl. House geckos crawl around the house\u2019s exterior to hunt bugs drawn by the light. I feel lucky every day to live here and do my best to never take it for granted. We love exploring the island and since moving here, have done and seen a lot. My google maps is a messy mix of pins, many are pins of where I want to visit, and dozens more are favorite spots I have saved, from beaches, to hikes, to restaurants, to cultural sites, and more. Puerto Rico is a big island and there is so much to do. We have played the part of tour guide for friends and family on numerous occasions. I like to plan everything, which means a detailed itinerary crafted for every visit. After several such occasions, I have decided to share a travel guide for future visitors to benefit from my experience of planning travel and traveling around this special island.\",\"sameAs\":[\"http:\\\/\\\/westindiestravel.com\",\"https:\\\/\\\/facebook.com\\\/westindiestravel\",\"https:\\\/\\\/instagram.com\\\/westindiestravel\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.pinterest.com\\\/terrestrialtemple\\\/\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/@westindiestravel\"]}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Lombok, Indonesia | Surfing and Island Hopping","description":"Skip crowded Bali and travel to Lombok, Indonesia, instead!

A river cuts a path between the mountains; a short ride on my moped can take me to a spot in the river where a 6 ft waterfall flows into a round pool where green herons fish and locals cool off. By night, a giant white cross on the hill just below us lights up, on Wednesday\u2019s the sound of the church\u2019s hymns makes its way to our porch. The night comes alive with the sound of frogs and insects and the occasional Puerto Rican screech owl. House geckos crawl around the house\u2019s exterior to hunt bugs drawn by the light. I feel lucky every day to live here and do my best to never take it for granted. We love exploring the island and since moving here, have done and seen a lot. My google maps is a messy mix of pins, many are pins of where I want to visit, and dozens more are favorite spots I have saved, from beaches, to hikes, to restaurants, to cultural sites, and more. Puerto Rico is a big island and there is so much to do. We have played the part of tour guide for friends and family on numerous occasions. I like to plan everything, which means a detailed itinerary crafted for every visit. After several such occasions, I have decided to share a travel guide for future visitors to benefit from my experience of planning travel and traveling around this special island.","sameAs":["http:\/\/westindiestravel.com","https:\/\/facebook.com\/westindiestravel","https:\/\/instagram.com\/westindiestravel","https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/terrestrialtemple\/","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@westindiestravel"]}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":false,"thumbnail":false,"medium":false,"medium_large":false,"large":false,"1536x1536":false,"2048x2048":false,"trp-custom-language-flag":false},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Zach","author_link":"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/es\/author\/terrestrialtemplegmail-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":2,"uagb_excerpt":"Lombok 21 September 2024 Lombok is often overshadowed by its neighbor Bali, but it shouldn&#8217;t be!
