Tucked away on Lombok’s southern coastline, Belongas Bay is a hidden gem for surfers who crave adventure and solitude. This remote bay features both left and right reef breaks that offer power, consistency, and variety throughout the tides. Best surfed from November to April during the wet season, Belongas delivers long rides and clean faces — often with hardly another surfer in sight.
Belongas Bay is a regular stop for surf-charter boats and offers two notable surf spots: a short, punchy right on the west side of the bay, and a longer, more hollow left on the east side. While they might not
match the legendary status of Desert Point, they still provide plenty of fun for the average surfer.
