Desert Point or Bangko Bangko beach is in the remote south west of Lombok Island. Desert Point was voted as the best surfing point by most surfers.
As
described by surfers, the wave quality is totally epic, great barrels, with a thrilling 300
meter hollow ride, best when the tide is low and rising. Because of this and that there is a shallow
reef with razor sharp corals, only seasoned surfers risk the ride. The swells start at 1.5 meters, and holds up
to 2.5 meters.
Besides
surfing at Desert Point, one can go diving, snorkelling, hiking and a host of other activities
in this relative quiet away from the crowds from the other touristy areas of
Lombok. There are several nice lodges
around Bangko Bangko at Pelangan.
