Nusa Lembongan Resort is situated 12 miles
south east of Bali. It is one hour traveling
time by boat from Benoa Harbour. This pear
shaped island is around 4km long and 2km wide.
It is surrounded by a beautiful fringing reef,
which hosts a myriad of marine life,
The waters are renowned for their abundance
of life and great surf breaks.
The reef has been declared a marine park by
the Indonesian authorities. Not only does the
reef support its own Eco-system, but it supports
most of the villagers on the island as well.
The local people farm seaweed. This seaweed
is cultivated, harvested then exported all over
the world for use in cosmetics, food stabilizers
and medicines. Other sources of income include
traditional wooden boat building, farming peanuts,
sweet potato, and fishing.
Village life is very slow and enchanting. Very
few cars and motorbikes are seen on the roads.
The people are steeped in tradition, and one
could imagine Bali being like this island, thirty
years ago.
Although the island is small there are many
things to do. Fishing, diving, surfing,
mangrove exploring, discovering natural fresh
water springs, underground cave house exploring,
cycling around the island. A visit to the bat
caves on a nearby island, or a picnic at dream
beach.
Try catching mud cabs in the mangrove area at
the back of the island.
There is something for every one at Nusa Lembongan. |
