Tangsi beach
Pink Beach is one of the few "pink" beaches Tangsi, which is located in the South-Eastern part of the Indonesian island of Lombok. Thanks to the remoteness and uncomfortable entrance, this part of the shore is untouched by mass tourism. For now it is a weekend getaway recreation place with unique beauty and crystal clear calm waters.
