Senggigi, a town in Lombok, Indonesia, is the main tourist strip, stretched out in miles and miles of beachfront. It is divided into three parts, Mangsit Beach, central Senggigi and the southern part near Batu Bolong. There are quiet resorts along Mangsit has quiet resorts, but Senggigi and Batu Bolong has great night and social life.
Senggigi Beach, although one of the main reasons why travelers visit the area, is not entirely as spectacular. It is, however, a popular launch point for tourist activities in Lombok. You can visit weaving villages and waterfalls that scatter in the area.
Two kilometers south of Senggigi, is the Pura Batu Bolong, a scenic spot where a small Hindu Temple is located, overlooking the beach. The most interesting part is the empty chair that graces the location, which represents Brahma, the god of creation. Sunsets are great to catch at this place.
Most activities in Senggigi involve diving and snorkeling, and hiking. There are also several places where you can go visit and have a great time such as the Gili Islands for snorkeling or diving and Mount Rinjani, which is an active volcano.
But of course, the best thing about Senggigi is the nightlife. Visit the Beach Club, a great place to watch the sunser over Bali, and the Happy Cafe where live bands are great to watch.
