About Mushroom Bay Nusa Lembongan

Written by the Bali Saku Raba local team · Last verified September 2026

Mushroom Bay, also called Tanjung Jamur, is a small crescent-shaped cove on the southwest coast of Nusa Lembongan, in Jungutbatu Village, Klungkung Regency, Bali. Its reef-protected setting, pale sand, nearby accommodation, and working boat area make it one of the island’s most useful coastal bases. The water can look calm, but conditions vary around the beach, landing area, reef, and boat lanes.

What Mushroom Bay is known for

The bay combines a beach stop with practical access for some scheduled boats, snorkelling and diving departures, and local marine activities. Its name is commonly associated with mushroom-shaped coral formations offshore; this does not justify touching, standing on, or collecting coral. Visitors can enjoy the landscape from land or use a properly operated boat while leaving the seabed undisturbed.

Beach, swimming, and activities

The inner cove may offer easier swimming than exposed coastlines, but “sheltered” is not a permanent safety guarantee. Tide, wind, current, visibility, rainfall, reef, and boat movements change during the day. Ask local staff about the recommended entry point and stay clear of moorings, loading areas, and moving vessels. Snorkelling, diving, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and other activities may be available through local operators; equipment, supervision, routes, and prices are not fixed.

Use a properly fitted mask, fins, flotation, or other equipment suited to your ability. Stay with your group, follow the briefing, never stand on coral, do not drag boards or fins across shallow reef, and never feed or chase marine life for photographs. If visibility worsens or water movement increases, postpone the activity.

Boat access and location

Mushroom Bay is both a beach destination and one of the landing points used by some Bali–Nusa Lembongan fast-boat services. Confirm the operator, arrival point, transfer arrangement, luggage handling, and current schedule before travel; different boats use different harbours. A practical beach coordinate is approximately -8.6822997, 115.4335298, while nearby pins may identify the harbour, road, accommodation, or a wider bay rather than the swimming area.

When to visit and what to bring

There is no universal best hour because tide, sea state, boat arrivals, weather, and activity schedules all matter. Morning may be calmer on some days, but check locally rather than treating it as a rule. Bring drinking water, sun protection, secure footwear, a dry bag, and cash. Keep luggage compact around boat operations and confirm facilities, rentals, food, toilets, fees, and opening times locally.

Responsible coastal tourism

Keep clear of working boats and loading areas, follow signs and operator instructions, and respect residents and beach businesses. Take rubbish away, reduce disposable packaging where practical, and leave coral, shells, sand, plants, and rocks in place. Ask permission before photographing people, ceremonies, or crews. Do not ask a boat to make an unsafe manoeuvre for a photograph.

I’m happy to leave this review because I know Made personally, and I can honestly say he’s one of the best guides and kindest people you’ll meet in Bali. What makes him special isn’t just his deep knowledge of the island – though that alone is impressive. He knows all the hidden gems, the best times to visit popular spots, and always has interesting stories behind every temple and rice terrace. But more than that, he genuinely cares about the people he’s with. He doesn't treat it like a job; he treats it like he's showing his own friends around his home. I’ve seen how he goes out of his way to make sure everything runs smoothly, how he checks in on comfort and safety, and how he handles any little issue with a smile. He's reliable, patient, and incredibly warm-hearted. If you're looking for someone who will not only show you beautiful places but also make you feel welcome and looked after – Made is your guy. I truly hope this comment helps him, because he absolutely deserves more recognition. Thank you, Made, for being the amazing person and guide that you are! 🙏🇮🇩

The Best Tour Guide in Bali! We honestly couldn’t recommend Made enough! From start to finish, he was absolutely fantastic and went above and beyond to make our trip around Bali so special. Before we even arrived, Made’s communication was amazing. He helped us plan our whole trip, gave us fantastic advice and recommendations, and really took the time to understand what we wanted to see and do. He made everything so easy and stress-free for us. Throughout our trip, Made looked after us incredibly well. He picked us up, took us to all the different places we wanted to visit, and even showed us some amazing places we probably wouldn’t have found ourselves. His knowledge of Bali is incredible — he knew so much about every place we visited and was always happy to explain things and answer our questions. What really stood out to us was how kind, caring and genuine Made was. He didn’t just feel like a tour guide; we genuinely felt like we were being looked after by a friend. He always made sure we were comfortable, safe and enjoying ourselves, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Everyone in his team was also absolutely fantastic. They were friendly, professional and made us feel so welcome throughout our trip. Made played such a huge part in making our Bali holiday so memorable. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, knowledgeable, kind and genuinely cares about giving you the best possible experience, we would 100% recommend him. Thank you so much, Made, for looking after us and helping us have such an amazing time in Bali. We’ll definitely be recommending you to anyone visiting Bali — and hopefully we’ll see you again one day! ❤️🇮🇩

Очень советую Мади в качестве гида. Он организовывал нам тур на Нусу Пениду, у него много друзей, который организуют вам все что угодно за очень выгодную плату. Мади очень дружелюбный и улыбчивый человек, он знает русский язык, поэтому с ним можно разговаривать и узнавать многое про Бали. Я его всем советую в первую очередь, он может показать вам весь остров и организовать туры на другие соседние острова и вулканы. Спасибо ему большое, нам очень понравилось с ним проводить время. Советуем вам выбрать именно его за его труд, старания и доброжелательность Мади, спасибо тебе ❤️

Путешествие на Бали – это всегда погружение в мир красоты, духовности и уникальной культуры. Но по-настоящему раскрыть душу острова, прочувствовать его магию можно только с опытным и увлеченным проводником. Нам в этом невероятно повезло – мы встретили Маде! Маде – не просто гид, он настоящий хранитель традиций и наследник балийской культуры. Он открыл нам не только знаменитые достопримечательности, но и тайные уголки острова, поделился своими знаниями о древних обычаях и верованиях. Благодаря Маде мы смогли: * Почувствовать энергетику священных храмов: Маде рассказал нам об истории и значении каждого храма, помог правильно провести церемонии и почувствовать связь с духовным миром Бали. * Погрузиться в атмосферу балийской деревни: мы побывали в гостях у местных жителей, познакомились с их бытом, попробовали традиционные блюда и даже приняли участие в мастер-классах по ремеслам. * Насладиться природными красотами: Маде показал нам живописные рисовые террасы, вулканы, водопады и секретные пляжи, где можно было отдохнуть от шума и суеты. Но самое главное – Маде подарил нам незабываемые эмоции, искреннее общение и теплоту. Он отвечал на все наши вопросы, учитывал наши пожелания и создавал атмосферу настоящего приключения. Мы безгранично благодарны Маде за это удивительное путешествие! Он помог нам открыть для себя настоящий Бали – остров Богов, красоты и гармонии. Если вы планируете поездку на Бали, обязательно обратитесь к Маде – он сделает ваше путешествие незабываемым!

Очень рекомендую этого русскоговорящего балийца! 👍 Экскурсии с ним - это просто супер! 🤩 Он не только рассказывает интересные факты об острове и показывает самые красивые места, но и делится местными фишками, о которых не прочитаешь в путеводителях. 😉 Он очень внимательный и отзывчивый, с ним легко и приятно общаться.

Маде добряк!) очень внимательный, и профессиональный гид! Уже много лет дружим с ним! Провез по всем уголкам прекрасного Бали! Хорошо говорит на русском и английском языках! Аккуратно водит машину! Очень адекватные цены на экскурсии!! Знает все вкусные и красивые места! Поможет со всеми вопросами на Бали, такие как аренда скутера, или аренда жилья! Встретит и проводит в аэропорт, если вы с ребенком то у Маде прекрасные дочки которые с удовольствием побуду няней!)) Всем рекомендую это агенство!!
