Batu Payung
Beach is defined as a beautiful one if it has white sand,
clear water, calm or wild waves, various coral reefs and is hilly front. Do you
agree with this definition? I bet not,
especially for you who travel a lot around Lombok. Well for me Tanjung An is
the most representative beach that can be definitely called as the beautiful
one. No wonder it has been used many times as a shooting spots of ads and
movies.
When you step your feet on its white sand, feel the breeze,
perhaps you won’t realize that it has something more to see—the massive stone.
It is called Batu Payung. These words are derived from Sasak. Batu means stone
and payung means umbrella. This
massive stone look likes an umbrella. You can sit under its shade. To see this
giant massive umbrella stone you can walk along the beach, go with a private
boat or hike through the eastern hills. If you choose to walk along the beach
make sure you comeback at least at 4p.m before the high tide, otherwise you
have to climb the hill.
Tanjung An is about 2 km away Kuta. You can rent a motorbike
or bicycle near Kuta to get there. Be adventurous and have a nice holiday
