Kuta Beach

Located in south Lombok, Kuta Beach is known for its white sand and turquoise water so crystal clear you can see the coral reefs from the top of a nearby hill. It’s the most famous beach on Lombok, which makes it the most crowded. The town has a wide variety of accommodations and restaurants, ranging from backpacker offerings to 4-star luxury resorts. Kuta offers world-class surfing, including at nearby Gerupuk. Most people come to Kuta to just chill out on the beach (the sand isn’t as fine here, however) and to take in the evening sunsets. Snorkeling is another popular activity.
