Dream Beach is a compact beach of golden sand and vivid turquoise water on the southwest shore of Nusa Lembongan. For all its postcard looks, the ocean here can be fierce: big waves and a strong shore break make it more a beach for photos and lounging on the sand than for calm swimming.

Why Visit

Dream Beach is about striking views, photos and atmosphere: turquoise water, white surf and cliffs at the edges. The famous Devil's Tears is right next door, so the two are easy to see together.

What You'll See and Do

• Beach and surf. Golden sand and powerful waves; you can swim with care at the shore on calm days.
• Clifftop views at the edges of the bay — great for photos.
• A café and clifftop infinity pool above the beach (at a club) for a view with a rest.

When to Visit and What to Know

Best in the mo ing, when it's quieter and calmer. The path to the sand is short but a little steep.

• Beware the waves and current — don't go far out and watch the shore break.
• The bottom is rocky in places; footwear helps.
• Bring water, sunscreen and cash.

Combine Your Trip

• Devil's Tears — rocks that throw up sea spray, a couple of minutes away.
• Nusa Ceningan across the Yellow Bridge.
