There is the soft sand that has the texture of flour and on the left side of the beach near the hill, you will find textured sand that feels like pepper.

The beauty of Lombok’s Tanjung Aan Beach is that tourists have a range of sights and things to do aside from lounging around the beach. Here are some things to do when you are here.

1. Umbrella Rock

Umbrella Rock is a large standing rock with a bottom part that has been naturally chipped away.

Its smaller-sized bottom part and large overhanging upper part gives it the illusion of an umbrella. On a hot sunny day, visitors can take refuge in the rock to cool down.

To reach this natural wonder, visitors are required to take a boat before crossing the ocean to reach this Lombok tourist spot.

It should be noted that some damages to Lombok’s Umbrella Rock were caused by the massive earthquake that hit the island in 2018.

2. Merese Hill

Get a glimpse of the sheer scale of the ocean and all its shade of blue when you stand on Merese Hill.

With views like that, it is no surprise that Merese Hill has become a secluded tourist destination in Lombok.
