Loving Lombok: Lombok's White Beach

In Lombok, you'd probably visit one or two beaches. My friends wanted to visit the pink beach, pink because of the pink sand. Our guide said it isn't as pink as in the brochure and brought us to Tanjung Aan beach instead, a beach which I'd like to call the white beach even though the sand is not as white as can be. It's a quiet spot, devoid of people except for the two men peddling T-shirts and a few hanging near their cars, probably waiting for tourists whom they had brought and who could be out on a boat ride. The place wasn't really developed and the men selling T-shirts simply spread their goods on the ground. They did not operate from a stall or any man built structure. Except for a few boats in the distance, I can't remember seeing any man made structure; maybe just a swing which gave us great pleasure when each of us took turns in posing for pictures. 3
