Lovina beach is a thin line of black sand, which can be accessed by small roads and alleys or from beachfront hotels. As Lovina is in a sheltered cove, it is very safe for swimming, and there are rarely any waves or currents. In some areas, snorkelling and diving can be done right off the beach. One of Lovina’s major attractions is dolphins and boats run regularly from the beach on dolphin sighting trips, which are best done at sunrise or sunset. The many local jukung (outrigger canoes) at Lovina add to its scenic beauty. The busier nature of the area also means, however, that the beach can be quite dirty at times.
