Things to Do in Nusa Lembongan

If you’re looking to enjoy a relaxed swim across the shore of break waves, accompanied with restaurants overlooking the beautiful white sand and crystal-clear water, the Dream beach is the perfect spot for you. The beach has access to some amazing food, pools, drinks and remains one of the most visited beaches on the Nusa Lembongan island.

One of the best things to do on the Nusa Lembongan island remains the exploration of the ‘Devil’s Tear.’ The ridge sucks the water in before exploding it into a spray resembling the tears of a devil. The boom of the water most often leads to the creation of a rainbow on several occasions, a sight you don’t want to miss.

Another, magical element witnessed at this location, includes the act of clapping at a continual pace in the direction of the ocean, thus leading to a curiosity amongst tourists that cannot be questioned. To the pleasant surprise of the tourist, about ten minutes later, one can see turtles coming out one after another, truly an incredible sight to watch. 

As you continue to explore further, you will find the ‘Sandy Bay,’a secluded beach on the island; just around the corner. The bay is considered to be the most luxurious spot on the island, having a number of lavish villas that are available for rent and most often cost a minimum of IDR 400 per night making it one of the best things to do in Nusa Lembongan. 

The longest beach you will find on the island is the ‘Jungut Batu Beach,’ having a number of wooden tour boats and fishing vessels along the shore. The beach is known for its stunning sunsets and skies that are filled with vibrant colours, adding to the beauty of the place. 

As you walk along the beach, you will find a variety of mangroves along with the famous ‘Mount Agung,’ looming in the background. Though the mountain was an active volcano and last erupted in 1963, the sunsets here continue to be a must watch for tourists enamoured by the scenic beauty of the place. 

The Mushroom Bay is yet another relaxed beach spot at the island and is an amazing place to explore a wide variety of local food. You will find a number of budget friendly restaurants along the shore of the beach, overlooking the bay. It’s a great place to spend a relaxed day with family and friends. A big win for food lovers!!

The ‘Devil’s Tear Cliff Jump,’ is widely recognised for its tide pools that have amazing reflections. If you’re fortunate, you will also witness stellar sunsets with the waves smashing into the cliffs thus resulting in huge swells during the day. This is a cliff that’s widely admired among tourists and a jump from the cliff is one of the best things to do in Nusa Lembongan.

The ‘Dream Beach Cliff Jump,’ is a coastline that is found stretching across hundreds of meters, on the right side of the bay. The water at the cliff is extremely deep and considerably dangerous. If you’re daring enough, you could climb down and consider a few deep checks; but consider doing this only at your own risk. The reefs and rocks below the cliff succumb to change on a daily basis underwater. Always make sure you’ve done your research / checks and have ensured safety backup well in advance before exploring this cliff.

If snorkelling is on your to do list and swimming with giant Manta Rays is one of the best things to do on Nusa Lembongan as it sends an adrenaline rush down your spine. Don’t hesitate to hop on a group tour from Nusa Lembongan. You will be accompanied by a trained guide and you also have the opportunity to swim and snorkel with the playful Manta Rays. The activity lasts for a duration of over half an hour and can be booked locally. The cost of the attraction is about IDR 20 per head and is a worthwhile experience, you are sure to cherish for a lifetime.
