Looking for an island to spend the day or weekend? Nusa Penida provides the perfect day trip or weekend getaway on the south west coast of Bali. For now it remains a hidden gem, with not many tourists aware of the magnetic vibes of this Indonesian island, but we have a feeling it will not stay hidden for long, as more and more people are sharing the island’s magic.
As you arrive, you will instantly notice how open and friendly the locals are, on our walk to our accommodation, we were pleased to encounter smiles as they drove past and all willing to help. The locals seem to know each other and this provides a lovely family atmosphere that is rare to find elsewhere. PLAY Kelingking BeachKelingking Beach is quickly making Nusa Penida a major attraction and is becoming a focal point of the island. To get there you can walk down the coast, the walk is takes around 45 minutes, but be warned it is very steep and you must be careful when going down. Once you arrive it will be worth it! A stunning beach with crystal clear water and white sand awaits you.
The famous coastal cliffscape really does hold a resemblance to a T-rex and we felt like eagles looking down on the wonder of the beautiful waves crashing in what felt like slow motion. Broken Beach and Angel’s Billabong You can tick off two of the attractions in one journey. Broken Beach has a very beautiful view and they have set up a place for photos to be taken. There is also a place where you can refuel with local snacks and refreshements. Angel’s Billabong is a natural infinity pool and is positioned a couple minutes walk from Broken Beach. Make sure tides are low and is safe before you plan your trip, many tourists have been taken out to sea due to high tides. The floorbed feels like carpet on your feet and is a wonderful experience to relax in the pools or have a swim. Avoid going too close to the edge, as depending on the tides can be very dangerous. Crystel Bay Beach While Crystal Bay Beach is known for its diving, however the beach itself is not the best place to relax as it was quite littered and under the water you can find rocks and bits of rubbish floating. We reccommed hiring a boat to take you out around 100 yards into the bay and you will for sure enjoy the crystal clear water you would expect at Crystal Bay. STAY Budget – Full Moon Bungalows These basic bangalows offers live music during the night and access to their taxi services. A driver for the day costs around 500,000 IRD. The bungelows are clean, but basic. Full Moon Bungelows are in a good location for water activities and dining..jpg)
