Padangbai – Crowded harbor by day, Chill port town by night

Padangbai is the biggest port for boats travelling between Bali and Lombok, to nearby and Eastern Islands, such as the Nusa and Gili islands. A bustling hub in the eastern coast surrounded by lush hills and beautiful beaches, a common sight are the boats that come and go everyday. Whether slowing down before or after island hopping, this place offers exciting experiences right here in this port town.

Padangbai has beachfront cafes and hotel restaurants around that serve Western and Asian cuisine, bars that offer an ocean view, and Warungs for those looking for a quick bite on their way to catch a ferry. Nothing fancy or trendy in this port town but Padangbai offers up a laid back scene for a quiet night by the beach. The reggae bars are frequented by locals and have a humble, lowkey atmosphere for chill drinks and live music.
