Probably. Sanur's new harbour (opened 2022) has a jetty, but many Penida and Lembongan boats still load from the beach depending on the operator and the tide. Expect to wade ankle- to knee-deep: wear shorts and sandals and keep your phone in a dry bag. Jungut Batu (Lembongan) and Gili Air are beach landings too. Serangan uses a jetty.
Be at your operator's counter 30–45 minutes before departure with your QR e-ticket and passport. If you added hotel pickup, we send the exact pickup time on WhatsApp the evening before.
About 40 minutes (30–45 depending on the operator and the sea). Sanur to Nusa Lembongan is about 35 minutes. Padang Bai to Gili Trawangan takes about 1.5 hours, and Sanur or Serangan to the Gilis 2¼–3½ hours with stops.
You can add hotel pickup to Sanur, Serangan or Padang Bai harbour from Sanur, Kuta, Legian, Seminyak, Jimbaran, Canggu, Nusa Dua, Uluwatu and Ubud. The price is per car (up to 4 people) and shown before you pay. A few fares already include pickup for central south Bali — the card says so.
Most Sanur boats arrive at Banjar Nyuh on the north-west coast — closest to Kelingking, Broken Beach, Angel's Billabong and Crystal Bay. Some arrive at Buyuk on the north-east coast, better for Diamond Beach and Atuh. Every result shows the arrival harbour. Penida roads are slow: allow 1–1.5 hours to the far side.

Sanur has the most boats to Nusa Penida and Lembongan, often with a wet beach boarding. Serangan is quieter, boards from a jetty and is faster to the Gilis. Here is how to choose.
