Mangsit Beach
Beach in Senggigi (Islands).
Mangsit Beach is a long, quiet stretch of sand a few kilometers north of central Senggigi on Lombok's west coast, lined with resort hotels and villas, with fishermen's outrigger boats pulled up on the shore. Its modest waves suit beginner surfers, with boards and lessons offered on the beach, and boats can be hired to snorkel the reef offshore. On clear evenings, the sunset view takes in Bali's Mount Agung across the Lombok Strait.
