Kencana beach

Kencana is a hotel beach in the northwest of Sumbawa island, Indonesia. However, non-guests can visit it as well. Feel free just to walk through the hotel. Everybody can also visit their restaurant. The beach itself is good, but there are many areas with pebbles. However, it is still possible to find good sandy areas. Swimming is comfortable even for smaller children, while good snorkeling is possible on the house reef. This is a "local" beach. So it is always overcrowded during the weekends. Shore and seabed: sand, pebbles. [edit]
