Tanjung A'an Access
  its about 8 km east of Kuta / Lombok cheers. Tanjung A'an ("A'an cape", in indonesian) is a secret spot...
All you can do is get a room South of Lombok island and get around looking for a rocky point West of "Honeymoon beach" and East of "Princess Mandalika bay". One hint : Mandalika is also the name of a good, expensive hotel.
There is no straight road to Tanjung A'an, so don't expect seeing it from the car. Indeed, once you've parked it's only a 15 minutes walk.
Unless you're stupid, Tanjung A'an is easier of access from ground, not by boat.

Additional Surfing Infos
 Tanjung A'an is a left pointbreak with live coral reef under your feet. The right can ocasionaly be made but it's way more risky (and you could end up in the rocks, too).
Can be surfed at all tides, all year round, it is VERY SHALLOW at middle to low tide. Tubes anytime.
You will probably park the car in the middle of a ghost holiday resort (old property of Suharto's kids): maybe you will not see no one but if you do, give money to the olders and give pens (PENS !) to the kids, to go to school.
After your session, chances are the locals will have noticed you and come around to see who you are. Take the fresh coconut they will give you, it's absolutely wonderful.
  Overview
  Atmosphere Surf it all year round : South East swell in winter (rain season), South West swell in summer. A little more windy in summer but all you have to do is come at the MORNING HIGH TIDE.
Security advisory : this is not a beginner's place. No one to rescue you, no public phone (and even if there was one, there is no rescue team around).
  General Three words : tropical, remote, powerful.

dodgy
a few people to look out for in kuta if your going to rent a bike. dont trust jen or a guy called berog... they made me pay for the bike that wasn't even theirs and when i took it back thes said i crashed it so i had to pay a whole heep of money to the f##ker. other than that everyone was great! if anyone's looking for a boat out grupuk ask for gabriel, he doesn't rip you off and he'll tell you when the sneaky ones are comeing in!
