Sunny Coast of Nusa Penida Island

Nusa Penida Island in Bali has become a popular destination for its Diamond Beach and Kelingking Cliff, offering breathtaking natural scenery and the relaxing vibe of sun, sand, and sea. Renting a car to explore this route not only saves travel time but also allows you to take photos along the way, stop for breaks, and enjoy the journey to the fullest. 🌊 Recommended Route: Take a boat from Bali to Nusa Penida, then rent a car to head directly to Diamond Beach. The crystal-clear waters, white sandy beach, and surrounding greenery create a picturesque and soothing view, especially on sunny days, making it perfect for a beach photoshoot. The beach entrance has stairs leading down (approximately a 15-20 minute walk), so those with average physical fitness should allocate extra time to reach the beach. Along the way, you'll be treated to stunning distant views. Next, continue to Kelingking View Point and Kelingking Beach. Kelingking Cliff is famous for its dinosaur-shaped rock formation, offering a breathtaking view from the observation deck. To reach the beach below the cliff, the stairs are steep, so wear proper shoes and exercise caution. Once at Kelingking Beach, you'll be surrounded by natural rock formations and the blue ocean, creating a fairytale-like atmosphere. 🏞️ Recommended Photo Spots: 1. Diamond Beach stairs—capture the entire beach and distant ocean views. 2. Kelingking Cliff observation deck—don’t miss the iconic "dinosaur spine" rock formation. 3. Kelingking Beach entrance—a perfect blend of natural rocks and the sea. 🚌 Useful Tips: 1. Renting a car is the best option as the island's roads can be rugged. Driving yourself can be dangerous, and some tourists who opted for motorbikes encountered accidents, so it’s not recommended. 2. Start early to avoid crowds and enjoy the serene beauty. 3. Bring sunscreen, water, and light snacks, as there are few shops near the beach and cliff. 4. Be cautious while taking photos, as some observation points lack railings. 5. Entrance fee (Diamond Beach): IDR 34,000, payable on-site. ⏰ Suggested Itinerary: Morning: Depart from your hotel and take a boat to Nusa Penida → Diamond Beach (approx. 2 hours) → Kelingking Cliff and Kelingking Beach (total 2 hours) → Afternoon: Return trip, allocate time based on transportation and personal interests. Returning to your hotel with beautiful memories and stunning views, this is undoubtedly one of Bali’s must-visit routes! Nature lovers, don’t miss out.

🌊 Paradise Found: Nusa Penida’s Cliffside Marvels & Turquoise Dreams ☀️ Start your Bali island adventure with a sun-kissed journey along Nusa Penida’s dramatic coastline. 🏝️ Kick off at Kelingking Beach, famous for its dinosaur-shaped cliff and sweeping ocean views. My tip: arrive early for that dazzling sunlight and fewer crowds. The descent to the beach is steep, so sturdy shoes and caution are a must—reward yourself with Insta-worthy shots from the top before heading down. Next, zip over to Diamond Beach—best visited between 8–10 AM for maximum sparkle and milder temps. Take the stone stairway for bewitching vistas overlooking turquoise waves crashing upon sugar-white sand. You’ll pay a small admission fee (IDR 34K), but it’s well worth every rupiah. Look for that classic photo angle just halfway down the stairs! Wrap up your journey at Atuh Beach Viewpoint for serene, panoramic ocean vistas—perfect for a peaceful break or sun-drenched selfies. From the clifftop, the water glows an unreal blue. Keep an extra power bank handy; you’ll want endless snaps here! Some practical tips: bring plenty of water, reef-safe sunscreen, and stick to open hours (Diamond Beach, 6:00–18:00). The cliffside walks can be slippery; slow going wins the day. Protect your camera and valuables from fine beach sand. #Bali #NusaPenida #BeachAdventure #CliffViews #NatureLover

Angel's Billabong

Bali is calling! 🌴 Nusa Penida’s west coast is a next-level day trip — trust me, pics never do it justice, you gotta see it for yourself 😍 Epic blue waves, wild cliffs and chill monkeys are the real-life backdrop. If you only have a day, focus on the west side to soak in those iconic views. Top Spots to Visit on Your Nusa Penida Day Tour: 1. Angel's Billabong. Tip: Visit early morning to beat the crowds and enjoy the best light for photos! 2. Kelingking Viewpoint — That “T-Rex” cliff you’ve seen everywhere? Looks even crazier in person. Take in the panoramic ocean views, but the hike down is HARD — only go if you’re fit and wearing sturdy shoes. 3. Broken Beach — Free to enter and open all day! This unique seaside arch makes for unreal drone shots. Watch out for cheeky monkeys stealing snacks! Getting There: Book a day tour via trip.com for easy transport — west coast routes waste less time driving so you don’t have to rush at each stop. Ferries run early from Sanur port; local drivers on Nusa Penida handle the bumpy roads! Eat: Pack snacks, or try local warungs at spots like Amok Sunset for sunset drinks and nasi goreng. Quick Tips: Bring sunscreen, hat, refillable water bottle, and don’t forget your camera!
