Planning a beach trip with a baby or toddler in town? We know it’s not always a walk in the park (or, let’s be real, a nap on the beach). But here’s the good news: Lombok is basically made for chill family adventures, especially when you’ve got the right baby gear by your side. From baby-friendly beaches to the gear that makes life easier (hello, travel crib and clip-on stroller fan), here’s your guide to exploring Lombok with kids without losing your cool.
Why Lombok Is Underrated
Sure, Bali gets all the hype. But if you’re looking for quiet beaches, clean air, less traffic, and a slower pace especially with kids. Lombok hits different. It’s the kind of place where mornings start with coconuts, toddlers run barefoot in the sand, and the only background noise is waves.
Top 4 Beaches in Lombok for Families
We’ve rounded up the best beaches in Lombok . Ranked by how fun, safe, and easy they are for families with young kids. Think shallow water, soft sand, and plenty of space to spread out a beach mat.
1. Selong Belanak, Lombok’s Most Kid Friendly Beach
If you only visit one beach, make it Selong Belanak. It’s got:
Calm, shallow water (ideal for baby splashes)
Powdery soft sand (no coral ouchies!)
A super chill vibe with warungs and local snacks
Bonus: cows walk along the beach in the late afternoon. Yes, cows. And yes, it’s adorable.
Bring with you (or rent from us):
A lightweight stroller (the road’s stroller-friendly!)
Beach tent or pop-up shade
Foldable high chair for snack time
This beach is a peak family goal. 10/10 would recommend.
2. Tanjung Aan, Chill Vibes + Coconut Trees
Just a short drive from Kuta, Tanjung Aan is postcard-perfect — with shallow waves, coconut groves, and plenty of shaded areas. It’s less crowded than Selong Belanak and gives off major slow travel energy.
Kids can run freely while you kick back on a beanbag. Local warungs serve fresh juices and nasi goreng just steps from the sand.
Don’t forget:
Pop-up beach tent for shade
Portable fan (trust us, it gets hot)
Snacks and water — always.
3. Gili Nanggu, A Peaceful Island Getaway
Want a quiet, car-free island with turquoise water and zero party crowds? Hop on a boat to Gili Nanggu (about 30–40 mins from Sekotong).
It’s the perfect day trip if you’ve got a curious toddler or a baby who naps well in carriers.
What you’ll love:
Calm snorkeling spots
Quiet beaches
4. Mawi Beach, For the Adventurous Fam
Mawi isn’t your typical baby beach, it's better suited for parents who love a little off-road adventure and don’t mind getting their feet (and wheels) dirty. It’s a surf beach with big waves, so it's not great for swimming with kids. But if your little one’s still in a carrier and you want to explore, the views are stunning.
