Description

Nusa Lembongan is the most developed and accessible of the three famous islands located off the coast of Sanur in Bali. Directly connected to the small neighboring island of Nusa Ceningan by a picturesque yellow bridge, it stands out for a much calmer pace of life than its larger neighbor Nusa Penida, streets free of large cars, white sand coves and a thriving local community dedicated to the sea.

Famous for

Devil's Tears, a dramatic rocky outcropping where the waves of the Indian Ocean crash and spray into spectacular water geysers
Dream Beach and Mushroom Bay, idyllic white sand beaches and turquoise waters surrounded by charming accommodations
The yellow bridge (*Yellow Bridge*) that connects Nusa Lembongan with Nusa Ceningan on foot and by motorbike
The extensive mangrove forests in the north of the island, ideal for exploring in traditional rowing boats
World-class surf spots like Playgrounds, Shipwrecks and Lacerations

Highlights

Devil's Tears, the most impressive coastal viewpoint to contemplate the force of the sea and unforgettable sunsets.
