I have stayed at the Sheraton Sengiggi on 3 ocassions over the past 4 years, the beach infront of that hotel is very clean, water crystal clear, and has a small reef break about 200 metres offshore.
It is possible at times to walk out 100 metres and still have your head above water, very safe place to swim, snorkel or even fish.
Hawkers are very few in Sengiggi, total of about 8! what a relief from bali!!!
The shopping is very limited, only about a dozen or so shops,
selling t-shirts, carvings , watches and typical balinese trinkets.
Although Lombok potery is well reknowned for it's quality!
Restaurants - many good seafood ones, actually i think the best seafood for quality and price, compared to Bali...
Lombok is a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of Kuta Bali for a few days...go there and enjoy the sun, sand and surf for a few nights.
I'll be back there in july, email me if you need any specific's.
