 ===By bemo===
 Bemos are small covered pick-up trucks with narrow padded seating benches in the rear. They are the main means of short and medium distance transport in the rural and coastal areas of Lombok and can be hailed down on many streets. They will happily take you even short hops around Senggigi and the fares are inexpensive.
-An approximate fare from Senggigi to the produce markets in [[Ampenan]] is Rp 4,500-Rp 5,500/person. Prices for set distances can vary at time. Try and watch what local customers are paying for a similar distance to your own and if really in doubt just include Rp 1,000-Rp 2,000 extra. If ''chartering'' an empty bemo to a particular destination be careful to clarify the exact amount of payment required prior to getting into the vehicle.

 Many bemo drivers are reluctant to venture further up the west coast than the northern end of Mangsit Village as the passenger densities drop dramatically from there on. The driver may want to turn back at this point if he does not have sufficient passengers.

 * At Kerungdangan there are many traditional warungs all along the beach and the area is most popular on Sundays when local villagers and people from the city and elsewhere will go there to visit the beach and eat traditional foods such as Satay.  You need to look for the entrance running toward the beach from the main road. A token entrance fee is charged for cars and motorbikes (on the way out) and the normally quiet and pretty beach is worth a visit anytime.  Sunday is the big day.
-* Klui beach is the next bay north from Mangsit beach and as with nearby Kerandangan it is a popular destination on Sundays. On weekends often till late at night Warung Tahur is open on the beach for snacks, local coffee, tea and sometimes light meals and satay. Very laid back and very basic. The warung attracts an interesting and eclectic group of locals from the nearby village and elsewhere, and sometimes some adventurous visitors. It offers an alternative to the tourist haunts of Senggigi. Have a coffee sitting on the beach or in the warung, a token exit fee is charged on weekends if entering by cars or motorbike from the highway.

 * On the hilltop between Klui beach and Setangi beach you can find Warung Manah and Adil right on the coastal highway on bend at the top of of the headland. Laid back and very basic, tea, coffee, other drinks, light snacks and sometimes light meals. Occasionally tourists will stop there, normally it is just frequented by locals from the nearby village or passing by. Great place to break a dive up the coast and enjoy the view to Bali or the sunset over [[Mount Agung]].
