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.
