Dream Beach
Beach in Nusa Lembongan (Islands).
Dream Beach is a small cove of white sand framed by limestone cliffs on the southwest coast of Nusa Lembongan. Waves break hard on the shore and the currents can be strong, so swimming is risky even for experienced swimmers. Devil's Tear is a few minutes' walk away, and visitors come along the island's narrow, hilly lanes by scooter or hired pick-up truck.
