I was planning my next holiday and was thinking I wanna head somewhere with a tropical lagoon that gets great wind, clear water, good fishing and cheap living.

So I thought Id start this thread off with a cracker of a spot I found on an island just off of Bali.

The lagoon averages 1 metre - 2 metres deep
Has crystal clear blue water in which small schools of barra and small reef sharks can occasionally be seen.
Its approx 3 km in length by 1 km wide and has 3 main surf spots (if you wanna wave sail as well) playgrounds, lacerations and shipwrecks.

accomodation is cheap as chips with the best deals negotiated when you reach the island by ferry. we rented a 1 bedroom unit (modern) for $5 US a night and included brekky.

The island is located off the southern peninsula of bali and is called Nusa Lembongan.

For the trade winds to be onshore and uniterrupted by land the best season is any time between November to March (wet season) if your into your wave sailing then the offshores come in the dry season from the SE.

I was kiting this place, but will head back one day with windsurf kit.

ps. no need to stay at the resorts, theres plenty of accomodation.
