Nusa Penida is an incredibly beautiful place and offers some amazing photo opportunities. The island’s coastline is insane, unlike anything we have ever seen, and is located only 45 minutes from Bali.
Whether coming on a day tour or independently, we got you covered with the top things to do in Nusa Penida, where to stay, and how to get around.
Kelingking Beach is the iconic attraction on Nusa Penida. It became famous on Instagram because of this land formation and picture-perfect beach.
A visit to the tide pool is best during low tide. Waves crash over the side of the cliff during high tide, filling up the tidal pool, and making it unsafe to swim.
After a swim in Angels Billabong, a short walk to Broken Beach is one of the highlights of Penida. There is a massive archway from the ocean into this bay, which has perfectly clear water and beautiful coral.
Located on the western coast of Penida, Crystal Bay is home to high-end beach resorts and is known for snorkeling. Snorkel trips depart from Crystal Bay, with stops typically at Manta Point and Gamat Bay.
Manta Rays are in Nusa Penida year-round. During the peak season between June and October, there could be dozens in the water at the same time.
A quiet stop that you may have all to yourself, Banah Cliff has two panoramic viewpoints. Small clearings beside shrubs lead to straight vertical drops over 100 m high cliffs.
