Top Nature in West Nusa Tenggara

Be mindful of the tides! I didn't pay attention and ended up getting my shoes soaked. It’s better to check beforehand so you don’t have wet feet all day.

I suggest visiting Goa Cemara Beach in the morning, around 7 AM. The sunrise is breathtaking and there are fewer crowds, so it's perfect for some quiet time.

If you’re into photography, golden hour around 5 PM is magical! I got some stunning shots, just be ready to share the space with other photographers.

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. The local warungs are great, but they can get pricey compared to grocery stores nearby.

My advice is to check out the local warungs for food. They’re much cheaper than the fancy beach restaurants, and the local dishes are a must-try. I loved the grilled fish; it was super fresh!

Make sure you bring cash! Some of the local stalls only accept cash, and it’s hard to find ATMs nearby. I learned this the hard way when I wanted to buy some snacks and had to walk quite a distance to find one.

Grab some local snacks from the market before heading to the beach. They’re really affordable and taste so much better than expensive beachside cafes.

Make sure to bring some cash. Many small kiosks and local vendors don’t accept cards, and you might wanna grab a coconut or two!

My advice is to explore the surrounding area a bit. There are some great spots to take pictures and it's a more genuine experience than just staying on the sand.

My advice is to explore the little beachside huts; some offer fresh coconuts for super cheap. You’ll get a delicious drink and support local businesses at the same time.

If you're planning on swimming, I suggest wearing water shoes. The beach can have some rocky parts, and they really helped me enjoy the water without discomfort.

I recommend bringing your own snacks and drinks; the beach vendors can be a bit pricey and the selection is limited. Packing a picnic lets you enjoy a full day without breaking the bank.

Don't miss the local seafood restaurants nearby. They have fresh catches, and prices are much better than in the touristy areas. I had the grilled fish, and it was amazing!

I recommend bringing some snacks and drinks with you. The nearby food stalls can be a bit pricey and limited in options, so having your own will save you money and keep you energized.

I recommend bringing cash. Some beach shacks only accept cash and you don’t want to miss out on the delicious local food.

Don't miss the sunrise! If you can, get to the beach by 6:00 AM for stunning views and fewer crowds. It's honestly one of the best parts of the day.

Save some cash and pack a picnic instead of eating at the few shacks nearby. Trust me, the beach snacks can be overpriced and not that great
