Location
Lombok: the south-eastern coast at Tangsi. Komodo: inside Komodo National Park, off Flores.
A private full-day charter to Tangsi Beach, where fragments of red coral through pale sand give the shoreline a genuine blush. Boat, crew, snorkelling stops and timing planned around the light.

Pink Beach Lombok is not the Pink Beach in Komodo National Park. Travellers mix the two up constantly, and the difference changes your budget, your travel time and the kind of boat you need.
Komodo's is the internationally famous one, inside the national park near Labuan Bajo. Lombok's pink beach at Tangsi is the quieter counterpart on Lombok itself — far less known abroad, reachable in a single day, and usually shared with a handful of visitors rather than a fleet of tour boats.

Lombok: the south-eastern coast at Tangsi. Komodo: inside Komodo National Park, off Flores.
Lombok: a private day charter from the island's southern harbours. Komodo: a multi-day cruise from Lombok or Bali, or a boat out of Labuan Bajo.
Lombok: one full day. Komodo: typically four to seven days if you sail from Lombok.
Lombok: couples, families and photographers already on a Lombok holiday. Komodo: guests with a week and the park on the list.

Timed so the sun is high and the pink actually reads in a photograph.
Midday light

Reef stops along the south-eastern coast on the way out and back.

Tangsi on the way out, Komodo at the far end of the same voyage.
Multi-day

The wide beach further west, easy to add to a south-coast day.
Surf coast
No, and this is the most common mix-up we correct. Lombok's is at Tangsi on the south-eastern coast and takes one day. Komodo's is inside the national park off Flores and needs a four to seven day voyage from Lombok, or a boat from Labuan Bajo.
Fragments of red organ-pipe coral broken down and mixed through pale sand. The effect is real but subtle — it reads strongest when the sun is high and the sand is wet, which is why we time the arrival rather than leaving it to chance.
A full day charter from Lombok's southern harbours, with snorkelling stops along the coast on the way out and back. It does not combine with a Gili day — they sit on opposite coasts.
Rarely. Tangsi is quiet and mostly visited by local travellers, which is the whole reason to prefer it if you are already on Lombok and do not have a week for Komodo.

Tell us your date and we will time the run so you are on the sand when the light does the colour justice.
