I know that every person have their own opinion about lombok beach. But in my own opinion,
Senggigi Beach Lombok is the most beautiful beach in Lombok Island. Like other lombok beach, Senggigi beach also has a very clean beach and crystal white Sands. So that the wide beach tourist akan freely and have more privacy. This beach is not so crowded, so for those of you who do not crowd the beach like this will give comfort. Along the coast also have international hotel, from 2 to 3 stars hotels, as well as traditional and western restaurant that will spoil you so that your tongue.
The roads which leaves Ampenan towards the north, passes two small mountains before it reaches a long, bow-shaped beach. On the mornings after moonless nights these hills offer the best view over the sea, which is scattered with small fishing boats with colorful sails, which return to the beach north of Ampenan. When the sunsets the fishermen leave the beach in one long line their lights create a nice play of lights, which can be seen from most hotels on Senggigi beach Lombok.
The first of the two small mountains, which are passed from Ampenan, named Batu Layar, contains the dedicated grave of one of the Islamic saints (wali), which spread Islam on Lombok. The local population prays near a shrine close to the road. It’s possible to walk from the summit of the second mountain to the Balinese temple along Batu Bolong beach.
Located on the western coast of
Lombok is the small village and resort area of
Senggigi. Tall coconut trees shadow two stunning bays and the white sand
beach of Senggigi. The bays are ideal for swimming snorkeling and other popular water activities and its impressive hillsides provide a dramatic backdrop and breathtaking scenic road trips along the coast to the north.
Senggigi over the years has become the most popular tourist area of Lombok, presenting a diverse range of hotel accommodations, from deluxe four-star resort properties to simple home-stays. As well, restaurants, cafes, entertainment venues can all be found along the main Senggigi road and on certain areas along the beach.
Senggigi beach Lombok is the main tourist strip of Lombok, stretched out along nearly 10 kilometers of beachfront just to the north of the capital Mataram.
Senggigi can be broadly divided into three parts: northern Mangsit Beach, central Senggigi and the southern stretch near Batu Bolong, with headlands separating the three. Mangsit has quiet resorts and very little other development, while nightlife and other restaurants are concentrated in Senggigi> and the Batu Bolong
That said, Lombok’s post-2000 misfortunes hit Senggigi hardest of all, with many developments halted and a few closed and barred up. Especially during the day the area resembles a ghost town, with many if not most shops closed, restaurants empty and hawkers and touts pestering the (few) passersby. Things are slowly starting to improve again, with a few new villas going up, but for time being the overall feeling is a little depressing and most visitors either stay in the manicured grounds of their resorts, or head directly onward to the Gili Islands.

What to see in Senggigi beach?
Pura
Batu Bolong, 2 km south of Senggigi. Small Hindu temple located in a scenic spot at a cape overlooking Senggigi beach, named after a rock batu with a hole bolong. At the tip is an empty chair representing Brahma, the god of creation. Free entry, but you’ll have to loan a sash Rp. 5,000 a throw from one of the urchins if you don’t have one already. Sunsets seen from here can be very impressive.
Senggigi Beach Lombok is a spit of sand stretching out from central Senggigi, this is Senggigi’s raison d’etre but, by Indonesian standards, it’s not all that spectacular. The beach is a little dirty, the hawkers are a nuisance and the Senggigi Beach Resort has grabbed most of the land. Some local surfers brave the smallish waves.

Senggigi Square
Seggigi Plaza
Senggigi Restaurants
There are plenty of eating options in Senggigi. Bale Tajuk, Senggigi Raya. Small but popular eatery offering a range of local and Western dishes, including a fairly decent Lombok-style Ayam Taliwang (Rp. 20,000).
Jeon, Senggigi Square 2F. Surprisingly authentic Korean restaurant, especially given that it’s probably the only one in all Lombok. Single dishes are reasonable (try the bibimbap, Rp. 35,000) but sets with a full spread of banchan appetizers are pricier at Rp. 80,000 and up, with 21% service/tax slapped on top.
Drink
Senggigi’s nightlife suffers from far more supply than demand, with punters thinly spread and bars desperate for custom.

These carefully designed boutique villas are located on stunning Mangsit Beach just north of Senggigi on the island of Lombok, 22 miles east of Bali. Lombok’s charm truly lies in its century-old, tranquil coastal areas with virgin white beaches and green mountains. The Villa complex is comprised of 20 units on a beautifully landscaped beachfront property peppered with swaying palms and lush tropical plants.
