We liked this place so much we ended up staying a week. No wonder it was rated by trip adviser as travellers' choice of island for 2013. It forms part of the Nusa Penida archipelago along with Nusa Ceningan and Nusa Penida. During our stay we surprised the locals by walking almost the entire length of Lembongan and Ceningan (connected by a rickety suspension bridge that caters to the many scooters and motorbikes). To one side of the island is a large mangrove forrest, on the other, huge surf and prime diving spots. We found beautiful beaches including Mushroom Bay and Dream Beach. Expanses of huge cliffs where waves splash almighty heights, some advertised as safe for jumping from!!
A proud local man showed us around a huge underground house (Gala-Gala) built by his ancestors. Our double storied surfers bungalow faced Jungutbatu beach with a beautiful view of Bali's coastline. When the tide was out we could walk out to the seaweed farms. After just a short boat ride, we were back on the mainland ready to explore Sanur for a few days.
