Labuhan Haji,watching sunrise on the east of Lombok

a park for people to have a morning coffe and breakfast
                Located in east side of the island,Labuhan haji is the most wellknown beach for the local,on Sunday morning,people with their family,or the youth with their couple came to the beach to watch sunrise as a recreation after long weekdays.The beach called "Labuhan Haji" (Hajj Harbor) because based on it's history, Lombok moeslim people using this beach as a harbour to go to Mecca doing their Hajj ritual,not like these days that people already using an airplane.
"berugaq" ( sasak's gazebo) to enjoy eat and drink while watch sunrise


                 In the old days,this area use to be a trade area,not just as a harbor,but also for the fishermen to sell their fish, but after the chaos in 60's, this place is no longer as a trade a area and become more quiet,we also still can see the old buildings and houses among the fishermen's village,so the East Lombok regency goverment regent try to rebuild  it again so the beach could be as good as it was,and also for recreation area to the people during the weekend. It is not hard to get to the beach,it's only 7  kilometers (approximately) from Selong, the capital of East Lombok Regent,and it's only take fifteen minutes (approximately).
