Coral Beach

Coral Beach is an intermediate dive site in the Secret Gilis of Southwest Lombok, where a vibrant fringing reef extends from the shoreline to a sandy bottom at 27 meters, creating an accessible yet richly biodiverse dive profile. The shallow reef flat is a nursery zone teeming with juvenile fish darting among branching corals, while the slope below features impressive table coral formations hosting clouds of damselfish and chromis. Octopuses are regularly spotted here, their hunting techniques providing fascinating entertainment for observant divers. Cleaning stations along the reef attract parrotfish, surgeonfish, and sweetlips queuing for grooming by cleaner shrimp and wrasses. The calm conditions and gradual depth profile make Coral Beach ideal for extended bottom times and relaxed exploration, while the diversity ensures that every minute of the dive reveals something new. This is Secret Gilis diving at its most approachable.
