Mangrove Forest Nusa Lembongan is a natural conservation area that also serves as an educational and recreational destination, combining environmental protection with a captivating ecotourism experience.
The forest is located on the east side of Jungut Batu Beach, Jungut Batu Village, Nusa Lembongan Island, Bali. This mangrove area covers approximately 202 hectares, consisting of natural forest and areas that have been replanted (restored) by the community and government since 2006 as a conservation effort (approximately 85 hectares of new mangroves and 117 hectares of natural forest).
The mangrove forest boasts several dominant mangrove tree species, such as Rhizophora apiculata and Avicennia lanata, which grow in soft muddy soil and play a vital role in maintaining the coastal ecosystem by filtering water, preventing coastal erosion, and providing habitat for a variety of marine life and birds.
The mangrove forest also serves as an attractive ecotourism destination with facilities such as wooden walking bridges, traditional boat rentals for exploring the mangrove area, and snorkeling in the clear surrounding waters teeming with small fish.
The mangrove forest is easily accessible from nearby villages and is open daily, with an entrance fee of around IDR 200,000 for a 20-minute activity. In addition to its natural beauty, the area offers supporting facilities such as rest areas, public restrooms, and small food stalls to ensure tourist comfort.
