Itinerary

Destination 1

Kelingking Beach is one of the most famous spot of Nusa Penida. Major travel sites use its photo to advertise Bali and even sometimes Indonesia. The place is indeed very spectacular and really amazing. The rock of Kelingking Beach looks a little like the backbone of a dinosaur that would drink in the sea. And by the way, on Google Map the bay is called T-Rex Bay. If you are lucky you may even see Manta rays from the top of the cliff.

The esplanade overlooking the rock is now very popular with tourists and drone pilots. This is one of the places that contributed to the tourist development of Nusa Penida island, especially through social networks. Kelingking also means pinky finger in Indonesian. But it’s a little more complicated to understand why. Or it takes a lot of imagination.

The main attraction at Kelingking Beach is the viewpoint from the top of the cliff. The cliffs of this part of the coast of Nusa Penida island are very spectacular, but this one is special ! The selfie in front of the T-Rex is a must. But you won’t be the only one posting your photo on Instagram. At the end of January 2018, there were already more than 13,000 photos posted with the hashtag #Kelingking and more than 25,000 with #kelingkingbeach. In September 2020 there are now more than 110,000 photos with #kelingking and more than 310,000 with #kelingkingbeach !

Everyone is looking for the best photo. For example by climbing on the dead tree (well, you will not be the only one either …). The locals compete in imagination to build bamboo platforms that offer a different point of view and a different background for the best photo.

Tourists are not lacking in creativity to try to think out the box to make THE different picture. Be careful though, some have pushed the adventure too far. A press article reported in 2019 the accident at Kelingking Beach of a young Russian girl riding a scooter along the cliff, who fell down from the cliff. The article even mentioned that the scooter remained intact at the top of the cliff… The last accident occurred on December 22nd 2020.

If you decide to go down to the beach (and I encourage you to do it !) be careful hiking down the cliff. Take some water to avoid getting dehydrated. Wear a hat to avoid sunstroke. And above all, take good shoes. The first time I went down, I wore flip flops. It was not a good idea. There are now proper stairs for the first part of the path so it really much easier than it was a few years ago.

Once down, you will discover a very beautiful beach. It is tempting to swim but watch out for the waves which can be very powerful. And also to the currents that can drag you offshore in the ocean. Kelingking Beach has had several deaths by drowning, so the warning is for real. It may be better to stay in shallow water if you are not a good swimmer.

I hope I did not discourage you with all these warnings, because it is really worth taking the time to go down to the beach and have this experience.

Destination 2

Broken Beach and Angel’s Billabong are on the South-West coast of Nusa Penida, not far from Crystal Bay. However, to go there by scooter or car you have to make quite a big detour. The road to go there used to be the worst one in all of Nusa Penida. Nowadays only the last hundred meters are a remainder of that terrible road ! You can also walk from Crystal Bay to Broken Beach, but the trail is not easy to find and it is a 2 hour hike.

The local name of Broken Beach and Angel’s Billabong is Pasih Uug, which means broken beach in the Balinese language. Together with Kelingking Beach and Crystal Bay, Broken Beach and Angel’s Billabong are some of Nusa Penida’s most iconic destinations. If you visit the island for the first time, they are a must. It would be a shame to miss these beautiful spots. During covid, there are very few tourists on the island, so you can choose to visit these spots at any time of the day.

The spot was named Broken Beach as a result of the collapse of a part of the cliff. The collapsed part has a circular shape, forming an arch that borders the sea. Hence, the entire spot looks like a circular bay with an arch overlooking the sea. The photos are much better than the description though!

At Broken Beach, you will probably spend some time walking around the bay and taking plenty of pictures. But take care with selfies! Some careless tourists have gone too far in their effort to take the perfect selfie and have fallen from the cliff. Since then, signs have been put up that warn visitors about the risk of selfies!

If you’re lucky you may see some Manta rays from the cliff. The cliff is, namely, located on top of the so called Manta Bay where fishing boats bring guests for snorkeling.

If you’re lucky you may see some Manta rays from the arch. The bay in front of Broken Beach is indeed called Manta Bay. This is where fishing boats bring you when you book a snorkeling tour.

To get a great photo with a drone, I would recommend you to fly around 150 meters high and take a vertical shot from there. However, do not try to fly under the arch to shoot a video. Many people have tried and were unsuccessful, given the number of drones that were found in the sea at the foot of this arch. When I asked a specialist why this happens, he explained to me that the pilots lose contact when they fly too slow under the arch. So when the drone tries to reach its planned altitude for recovery, and it is still under the arch, it will hit the top of the arch, fall and sink.

Therefore, you either have to fly at full speed below the arch and bet that the inertia of the movement will recover the drone on the other side. The other alternative is to stop the video before the arch, restart the video on the other side, and edit your video afterwards!

A billabong is an Australian term which normally refers to an isolated pond that is left behind after a river changes course. At Angel’s Billabong, it is more like a natural pool embedded in the cliff. During high tide it is filled with clear water, and during low tide the natural pool appears. The water is very clear and it is quite fun to go for a swim at low tide. However, don’t try to swim there during high tide, or when the waves are big. Make sure to get out as soon as the first wave enters the pool, because I saw tourists who lost their balance by a wave. They were lucky the wave didn’t sweep them out of the pool, because when that happens, it’s almost impossible to come back. Believe me, it happened. The two following photos were taken within 5 minutes.

Destination 3

Crystal Bay is an amazing beach on the island of Nusa Penida in Bali. The beach is easily accessible by scooter with a brand new road all the way from Toyapakeh harbour. You can spend your day enjoying the beach and the sea, or just relax in the shade under a parasol. If you’re very lucky you might even see dolphins here. The sunset from this beach is probably among the most spectacular in Nusa Penida. For all the above reasons Crystal Bay is among the top 5 places to visit on Nusa Penida island.

Destination 4

Paluang Cliff is a tourism site that is no less beautiful than other tourist objects on the island of Nusa Penida, where from Paluang Cliff you can see the beauty of the Kelingking Beach from different view point, where the view is quite amazing, so that many tourists visit the Kelingking. also took the time just to take pictures here. From the cliffs we can see the beautiful view of the ocean, with the wind blowing from the ocean making the atmosphere cooler. This Paluang Cliff tourist attraction is a hidden spot to be able to see the beauty of the rocky hills in Kelingking Beach from a different point of view, from an east to west point of view. A very different experience and sensation in visiting Kelingking beach which is very famous for its rock views that we usually see from the front, here on Paluang cliff you can see the view of the kelingking rock from behind and the view from Paluang cliff is no less beautiful than the scenery on the beach. front, with a stretch of blue sea will complete the atmosphere of visiting Paluang cliff.

Nusa Penida (Balinese: ᬦᬸᬲᬧᭂᬦᬶᬤ, romanized: nusa penida, lit. ’Penida island’) is an island located in the southeastern Indonesian island of Bali and a district of Klungkung Regency that includes the neighbouring small island of Nusa Lembongan and twelve even smaller islands. The Badung Strait separates the island and Bali. The interior of Nusa Penida is hilly with a maximum altitude of 524 metres. It is drier than the nearby island of Bali. It is one of the major tourist attractions among the three Nusa islands.

There are thirteen small islands nearby – Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Ceningan and eleven even smaller – which are included within the district (kecamatan). Administratively, the kecamatan of the same name, had a population of 45,110 at the 2010 census, covering 202.8 km2, very little changed from 10 years prior.

Nusa Penida, and neighbouring Lembongan and Ceningan islands, are a bird sanctuary. The islands communities have used traditional Balinese village regulations to create the sanctuary. The idea of a sanctuary came from the Friends of the National Parks Foundation (FNPF).

In 2006 all 35 villages (now 41 villages) agreed to make bird protection part of their traditional regulations (Balinese: ᬳᬯᬶᬕ᭄ᬳᬯᬶᬕ᭄, romanized: awig-awig). Since then, the FNPF has rehabilitated and released various Indonesian birds, most notably the critically endangered Bali starling which is endemic to Bali but whose numbers in the wild had declined to less than 10 in 2005. After a two-year program by FNPF in which 64 cage-bred birds were rehabilitated and released onto Nusa Penida, their number had increased to over 100 in 2009. Other released birds include the Java sparrow, Mitchell’s lorikeetand sulphur crested cockatoo.

Nusa Penida covers a wide area of diving locations, including Penida Bay, Batu Lumbung (Manta Point), Batu Meling, Batu Abah, Toya Pakeh and Malibu Point. The flow through the Lombok Strait is, overall, south-tending, although the strength and direction of the tidal streams are influenced by the monsoon seasons.

During the southeast monsoons, the tidal flow tends south; during the northeast monsoons, the tidal flow tends north. In the area of the strait north of Nusa Penida, the pattern is relatively simple, with a flow, at peaktide, of about three-and-one-half knots. Tidal streams in Badung Strait are semi-diurnal, but the character of the stream is very complicated because its direction runs obliquely to the general south to north direction of Lombok Strait, and the channel has a curved shape.

Based on survey in 2009, there was about 1,419 hectares coral sites with 66 percent covered the sites in 3 metres depth and 74 percent covered the sites in 10 metres depth.
