Nusa Lembongan Island

Nusa Lembongan is an island located southeast of Bali, Indonesia at 8°40.906′S 115°27.067′E Coordinates: 8°40.906′S 115°27.067′E. Based on Tripadvisor, Nusa Lembongan is the second most favourite island in Asia.

Nusa Lembongan Island is part of a sub-district of Klungkung regency. Nusa Lembongan is one of three small offshore islands which make up a sub-regency of Klungkung, the others being: Nusa Penida and Nusa Ceningan. Nusa Lembongan is the only one of the three islands within the sub-regency to have any tourist infrastructure and is a popular side destination for visitors to Bali.

Nusa Lembongan is a small tranquil island. Only 8 square kilometres in size with a permanent population estimated at 5,000. Twelve kilometres of the Badung Strait separates Nusa Lembongan from Bali Island. The island is surrounded by coral reefs with white sand beaches and low limestone cliffs. There is a suspension bridge linking Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan and this takes foot and motorbike traffic only.

Jungut Batu and Mushroom Bay are the centres of the tourist-based industry and activities on the island whilst much of the permanent local population resides in Lembongan Village.The north-eastern side of the island is flanked by a relatively large area of mangroves totaling some 212 hectares.

Fantastic!!

The economy is largely tourism-based and Nusa Lembongan is the only one of the three neighbouring islands to have any significant tourism-based infrastructure. There is also subsistence agriculture and fishing on the island and a seaweed farming micro-industry.

Marine conservation is considered extremely important to sustaining future levels of tourism on the island and in February 2009, a local NGO from Nusa Lembongan, facilitated by The Nature Conservancy Coral Triangle Center, opened a community centre on Nusa Lembongan. The waters around Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida have at least 247 species of coral and 562 species of reef fish.

Other conservation initiatives include a release programme of critically endangered Olive Ridley Turtles from Sunset Beach on the south western coast. (Not visit yet, next time I'll share the picture for this journey).

There is any options if you wanna go to Nusa Lembongan Island:

Fast boat from Padang Bay (Karangasem Regency), Sanur and Benoa Harbor (Denpasar Regency).

But if like to sailing and enjoy the trip from Benoa Harbor to NusaLembongan Island approximately 1,5 hours, you can choose catamaran.
