On the way to Surga Beach you can see several bull or at Lombok island it called “kauk“,  With a farmer herding the buffalo to find a grass. We know on South East Lombok is dry land. So it’s difficult to find grass for their buffallo.

Fit to its name, Surga beach is like piece of heaven on earth (Surga = heaven in Indonesian). This beach keeps million of charms that will make you strange for a while, like you don’t step one the earth. Surga beach lies in the tip of a remote bay, but the charm is way over the other Lombok beach. This beach is forted by two high steep banks in each tip, and the main beach located precisely in the middle of the steep bank. The main beach length not more than 600 m and has U shape bay with circle-shape white sand. Almost all parts of the beach are covered by white sand.

In this beach you can do many activities, from simply walking on the beach, swimming or surfing in Lombok. If you’re adventurous person, you can enjoy the Surga beach’s beauty by climbing one of hills which are located in the right side of the beach. It takes 15 minutes to get into top of the hill. After you reach it, you can sit on a berugak while enjoying the beach scenery and the rolling waves. The wind blows and the waves sound will sound very musical to you. But enjoying the beach from the top of the hill is not the main attraction here. The main attraction is the waves which always hunted by the surfers. All types of waves you can find here, from regular one to the high waves. If you are an adventurous on surfing board, try to visit this beach from June – October. On these months, the Surga beach’s waves are so challenging to be conquered.

Surga beach located 72 km from Mataram city. Normally it can be reached in 1,5 hours by motorbike or personal vehicles. There is no public transportation to or passing this beach.

If you are heading from Mataram Lombok city, direct your vehicle to Mataram-Cakranegara-Praya-Ganti-Sepapan-Jerowaru-Jor-Pemongkang-Ekas-Surga beach route. The road access are mostly adequate, its just 5 km before you reach the beach, you will meet less good road. In the rainy season it’s harder to be crossed. On the contrary, on dry season the road will be so dusty. This thing makes a phrase ‘heaven beach, hell road’.
