The journey from Selong Belanak to Ekas is a captivating traverse across the dramatic southern coastline of Lombok, a roughly two-hour voyage that unfolds like a moving postcard. Departing from the serene, horseshoe-shaped bay of Selong Belanak, with its turquoise waters and golden sand framed by rugged headlands, the route initially winds westward on the undulating Lombok Selatan Road. The road climbs from the coastal plain, offering panoramic rear-view glimpses of the bay shrinking into a perfect crescent below. This stretch passes through the arid, savanna-like hills characteristic of South Lombok, dotted with lontar palms and hardy scrub. Soon, the landscape evolves as you approach the central tourism hub, weaving through the outskirts of Kuta and Tanjung Aan. Here, the atmosphere shifts; the raw natural beauty is interspersed with pockets of cafes, surf shops, and villas, a testament to the area's global appeal. The road here is generally well-paved but demands attention for its curves and occasional scooters. After navigating through this zone, the route turns decisively eastward, leaving the main tourist trail behind. The vistas open up to a more agricultural and traditional vista, with occasional views of the vast Indian Ocean on your left, its deep blue expanse stretching to the horizon. The halfway point is often marked by the town of Selong, the administrative heart of East Lombok Regency, introducing a brief pulse of local urban life before the journey continues into more tranquil territories.

Continuing eastward from Selong, the second half of the trip to Ekas immerses you deeper into the authentic rhythm of Lombok's coastal communities. The road, now often quieter, threads through a series of traditional Sasak villages like Pringgabaya, where daily life unfolds roadside: farmers tending to rice fields or onion patches, children playing, and market stalls bursting with fresh produce. The geography softens slightly, with rolling hills giving way to a flatter coastal plain, but the ocean remains a constant, majestic presence. The sheer scale of the coastline becomes apparent, with long, deserted stretches of greyish sand and powerful waves crashing against the shore, a stark contrast to the sheltered, swim-friendly bays of the west. This is surfers' territory, known for its powerful reef breaks, and you might spot the occasional dirt track leading to a secluded surf camp. The final approach to Ekas is an adventure in itself, as the main road eventually gives way to smaller, sometimes bumpier paths that lead toward the tip of the southeastern peninsula. Arriving in Ekas feels like discovering a well-kept secret. It is not a single destination but a breathtaking area encompassing two stunning bays, Ekas Bay and Inside Bay, separated by a dramatic cliff. The reward for the two-hour journey is an unparalleled sense of remoteness and raw beauty, with world-class surfing, rustic accommodation, and sunsets that paint the sky in fiery hues, perfectly framing the silhouette of distant Sumbawa Island across the strait. The journey, therefore, is not merely a transfer but a purposeful transition from one facet of Lombok's diverse charm to another, far removed from the beaten path.
