Nusa Penida is a small island southeast of Bali, known for its dramatic coastal cliffs, crystal-clear waters, and natural beauty. Unlike Bali’s busy beaches, Nusa Penida feels more rugged and untouched, with winding roads leading to breathtaking viewpoints, hidden white-sand beaches, and vibrant underwater life perfect for diving and snorkeling.
Highlights include the iconic Kelingking Beach shaped like a T-Rex cliff, the turquoise pools at Angel’s Billabong, the arch of Broken Beach, and the stunning Diamond Beach on the eastern side. Offshore, you can swim with manta rays and explore colorful coral reefs.
It’s a popular day-trip destination from Bali, but many travelers stay longer to explore at a slower pace.
