About This Destination
Gili Pasir is a tidal sand island (sandbar) located in the waters of East Lombok, not far from the Pink Beach and Tanjung Ringgit areas. True to its name, this island is a mound of clean white sand that emerges in the middle of the sea at low tide — creating a very unique and photogenic scene. The Gili Pasir phenomenon depends heavily on the tidal cycle. At low tide, a stretch of white sand appears and visitors can walk on it, take photos, or simply enjoy the sensation of standing "in the middle of the sea." At high tide, most of the sand area is submerged, leaving only a small portion visible. Gili Pasir is part of the popular Pink Beach Tour route, usually combined with visits to Pink Beach 1-2-3, Gili Petelu for snorkeling, and Tanjung Ringgit. The waters around the island are clear with several interesting snorkeling spots.
Main Highlights
- ✓Unique tidal sand island — a natural phenomenon that only appears at low tide

Best Time to Visit
