The Experience

Before You Go

Use reef‑safe sunscreen

Apply a generous layer before boarding and reapply after swimming to protect coral and your skin.

Bring a snug mask and fins

A well‑fitting mask and fins make snorkeling easier in currents and help you conserve energy.

Carry waterproof storage

Use a dry bag or waterproof phone case—boats roll and cameras get splashed.

Cash for small purchases and tips

Villages and small vendors accept cash; bring small denominations in Indonesian rupiah.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Early morning light on Pulau Pasir when the sandbar is exposed
  • A short walk on Gili Gambir to meet local artisans and sample smoked fish

Wildlife

  • Parrotfish
  • Green sea turtle

Conservation Note

Reefs here are sensitive—practice no‑touch snorkeling, use reef‑safe sunscreen, and support local guides who follow sustainable mooring and waste practices.

Local communities on the southeast islets maintain fishing and boatbuilding traditions; Pink Beach’s color comes from fragmented red coral and shells mixed with white sand.
