DIVING IN NUSA PENIDA Abundant Pelagics, Some Fierce Currents Nusa Penida, across the Badung Strait from Bali's southern tip, offers some of the best diving to be found anywhere. But conditions around Penida and its two small sister islands-Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan-can sometimes be difficult...

The Jewels of Nusa Lembongan, Part I - Beaches

Mark Mark posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
Dream Beach Many Lembonganites rate this as their favourite beach and bay on the whole island. Dream beach is a gorgeous spot with an often deserted powdery white sand beach. Be careful with swimming here though as the waves are big and the current can be very strong. Never enter the water close to ...

Wanderings with my faithful hound

Mark Mark posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
I am not a morning person.  At least not through choice.  But I find myself getting up earlier and earlier in Lembongan.  This worried me at first.  I thought it was definitely a sign of old age creeping up (have you ever heard of your grand parents having a 'lie-in'?) but I am learning not to g...

A Weekend in Paradise

Mark Mark posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
My husband and I spent last weekend on Nusa Lembongan – I had been there once before but this was the first time for my husband. It is hard to describe this beautiful island. Wild waves crash over rocks sending huge white plumes of water everywhere, yet there are charming, quiet bays where one can...

One of my favourite Nusa Lembongan photos

Mark Mark posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
Sometimes a photo just grabs you. It might not be the best shot technically but it encompasses a memory perfectly. The latter is certainly the case with the photo reproduced below. This photo was taken by my dear friend's brother on his first visit to Indonesia earlier this year. He is neither a pr...

Getting to Nusa Lembongan from Bali

Mark Mark posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
It is a relatively short ride across the channel from Bali to Nusa Lembongan and there are several scheduled boat services now plying the route. It can be a little confusing for first timers and I hope this article proves useful in explaining the various transfer options available. Most of the sche...

There are few people out there who would not be aware of the threats posed to the various species of marine turtle which grace our oceans in different corners of the world. I am very pleased to report that Nusa Lembongan is participating in a program to help address these threats. Sunset Beach in N...

Pandanus - the walking trees of Nusa Lembongan

Mark Mark posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
I have always been fascinated by those tall, spindly, almost cactus-like trees with spikey leaves that seem to thrive on Pacific-rim beaches. Those of you who have visited south-east Asia or the Pacific Islands will know what I mean. The Pandanus genus contains approximately 600 species and they can...
