1. Kelingking Beach

Kelingking Beach is one of Nusa Penida Island’s most iconic locations. The term ‘secret point’ relates to the fact that it is still relatively undiscovered by tourists. The scene includes a green-hued limestone headland set against the deep blue waves of the Indian Ocean. The name ‘T-Rex Bay’ comes from the fact that this unusual feature resembles the head of a Tyrannosaurus Rex. The quiet beach is reached via a 400-meter cliffside trek. Only the fit and daring should attempt this.

Nusa Penida in Bali, Indonesia, is known for its natural beauty and is one of the most important places in Asia, with enough to see and do.

2. Crystal Bay

Crystal Bay, a well-known dive site in Bali, is the greatest and only spot on Earth. Bali’s most well-known tourist destination is known for its crystal-clear waters and excellent visibility. Visitors can witness the enormous sunfish at Crystal Bay, a diving paradise (Mola mola).

Visitors can view a temple on a little rocky island that rises from the water. Outside of the sunfish season, these dives are fantastic, and travelers can observe a variety of other natural wonders such as jackfish, clownfish, and scorpionfish, as well as eagle rays, frogfish, leopard sharks, octopuses, whitetip sharks, and bamboo sharks.

3. Warnakali Dive center

Aside from going to the beach, the island of Nusa Penida offers a variety of other activities. You can start by going to the Warnakali dive center. A pool is part of the facility, and it is used to prepare divers for open water diving. It has a shallow section for beginners and a deeper section for those who are more experienced. The Warnakali dive center is a must-visit for everyone looking for a safe diving experience. An infinity pool with views of Lembongan Strait is also available at the dive center. If you don’t want to dive, that’s fine! In the beautiful ambiance of Warnakali, have a drink or dinner with your loved ones while watching the sunset.

4. Broken Beach

Broken Beach, also known as Pantai Pasih Uug, is one of Nusa Penida’s most beautiful and popular tourist sites.

Uniqueness is a serene and breathtaking -environment ideal for trip photographers and panoramic view enthusiasts. There are cliffs ranging in height from 50 to 200 meters. The cliff is round in shape, with holes in the middle that resemble caves or tunnels under the water. The seawater appears to be trapped amid the cliff, giving the impression of a large pond.

Beautiful views of the ocean and cliffs, with a circular hole in the heart of a cliff and tunnels that go straight to the sea. Except for Nusa Penida Island in Bali, you won’t find a beach quite like this anywhere' else in the world.

5. Giri Putri Cave Temple

Giri Putri Cave Temple is a notable cultural attraction on Nusa Penida Island. Banjar Karangsari, Sauna village, is home to a large cave temple. On the north-eastern tip of Nusa Penida Island it’s about 5 kilometers from Sampalan harbor. Along the main route of Jalan Ped-Buyuk, clear signs direct you to the location. Its entrance is guarded by a shrine and a priests’ praying shelter. The entrance is a narrow gap in a rock wall, which is unusual. To squeeze and get through, you’ll have to stoop down low. A large temple courtyard can be found inside. The white marble flooring in front of the main shrines in the cave’s corner is partially covered.

6. Angel’s Billabong

Angel’s Billabong, one of Nusa Penida’s most spectacular places, is a crystal blue natural pool that meets the ocean, framed by limestone cliffs. The Manta Rays sailing along the coast may be seen from this natural infinity pool. Yay?

The Billabong is a particularly amazing feature that is best seen at low tide. Observe the shapes and textures beneath the surface of the crystal clear tide pool that flows into the ocean. Be cautious when climbing for a swim because the tides can be unexpected, and the waves can be furious.

7. Diamond Beach

Diamond Beach is about an hour’s drive from Kelingking Beach, on the island of Nusa Penida’s most eastern tip. Diamond Beach is divided into two halves. The first boasts vibrant green mossy rocks and tidal rock pools, while the second offers a lengthy stretch of gleaming white sand, coconut palm palms, little caves, and a far better swimming site. Again, be cautious because the steps leading down to the shore are quite steep! Explore the numerous caves, take some incredible Instagram-worthy photos, then cool off with refreshments at a little coastal warung.
