Relaxing on Mawi Beach
Because it is classified as an unspoiled beach, the water and coastal conditions in Mawi Beach Lombok are still exquisite. Even so, you will still find small shops and restaurants as well as surf equipment rental places. You can get your cold beer, fresh coconut, snacks and lunch straight on the beach.
This makes Mawi Beach also perfect for non-surfers. You can relax on the beach in comfort with a sunbed. Meanwhile, you enjoy the view of surfers in the foreground and mountains disappearing into the ocean in the background.

The dry season in Indonesia, between May and October, is generally speaking the best time of year for the waves. If you want to visit during the rainy season, you should know that it usually rains during the morning and evening. You can still go out to surf during the day.
