Seger Beach

Lombok is famous with awesome beautiful beach. One of them famous beach is Seger Beach. Seger Beach is located on southern Lombok Island. it's about 65 Kilometers from Mataram. The Seger beach is near from Kute(Kuta)Beach. It's nice trip, when you pass the coastline. If you love to climb the Hill, The Seger Beach is the best place to being chosen. I think it makes tourism will comeback this Island. Not only we can swim in clear and calm water of the beach, but Seger has a fantastic Panorama when the Sunset time.

Who is Princess Mandalika?
In Indonesia, every Island has important legend. Fortunately, Lombok island has Legend of Princess Mandalika. Based on native people, In Lombok Island lived a daughter of King . She was named Princess Mandalika. The princess has good looks that attracted many kings and prince of the royal neighbors to marry her.
But, it is not easy to marry with her, they must prepare a strategic in the war, to defeat their rivals. The war has made a chaos, and there many people dead. After she know the condition, The Princess who didn't want bloodshed in King kahuripan Kingdom, She decided to sacrifice herself. She run to hilltop on the edge of the southern ocean and She flung herself from top of the hill. Princess Mandalika's body disappear into the ocean and nobody could find the Princess body. After the incident, around the coast appeared multiply of sea worms. These worms spread almost along the south coast of Lombok Island. Native people call these worms as "Nyale" and they believe that Nyale is the incarnation of Princess mandalika.

Then What Is Bau Nyale(Catching Nyale) Festival?

After the mystery of Princess Mandalika Body disappeared and it became multiply worms, Native people could forget their dear princess, since then the festival is organized in certain time of the year.


The Sasak People believe that the princess visit them every year. At Seger Beach she comes and in the form of the little, colourful sea worms,the beautiful strands of her hair appears.

If we want ride to there, we can use traditional vehicle, its called Cidomo. It maybe need more than 30 minutes. Its rather slow than we use Bemo. Bemo is car with yellow colour, the other ones main transportation.

Senggigi is the most developed tourist area in Lombok. When the sunsets come, you can enjoy them from the beach or from one of the beachfront restaurants. The bays are ideal for swimming snorkeling and other popular water activities. Senggigi can be broadly divided into three parts: northern Mangsit Beach, central Senggigi and the southern stretch near Batu Bolong, with headlands separating the three. Mangsit has quiet resorts and very little other development, while nightlife and other restaurants are concentrated in Senggigi and the Batu Bolong area.
