Lombok, Indonesia

Kuta

Not to be confused with Bali's Kuta, Lombok's version is what surfers mean when they say 'Bali twenty years ago': a small town ringed by scalloped bays — Tanjung Aan's twin crescents, Selong Belanak's beginner-perfect rollers — connected by hills where buffalo have right of way.
