Discovering Nusa Penida: A Guide to Bali’s Southeastern Gem
MTC Media – Bali, Nusa Penida is a small island located in the southeast of Bali.
It has become a popular destination in Indonesia in recent years. Known for its outstanding natural beauty, Nusa Penida offers stunning ocean views as well as dramatic cliffs that make it a paradise for tourists looking for incredible cliff views. The island can only be reached by boat (speedboat) from Bali. The boat departs via Sanur beach and arrives at Nusa Penida harbor. The beauty of Nusa Penida lies not only in its exotic beaches, but also in its towering cliff formations and turquoise sea water.

One of the most famous spots in Nusa Penida is Keling King Beach, known for its cliffs shaped like dinosaur heads. From the top of the cliff, visitors can enjoy stunning views of the ocean, while for those who are more adventurous, the trek to the beach below is also very popular. Although the trail is quite challenging, the secluded beauty of the beach and the tranquil atmosphere make every step worth it. Not only on land, Nusa Penida also offers underwater beauty that is no less enchanting. The island is famous for its incredible dive sites, such as Crystal Bay, which has clear water and vibrant coral reefs making it one of the best locations for snorkeling and diving.
Although Nusa Penida has become a popular tourist destination, the island still maintains its authenticity. The local government continues to strive to preserve nature and manage tourism wisely, so that visitors can enjoy its natural beauty without damaging the ecosystem. However, as the number of tourists increases, there are challenges in keeping the environment clean and sustainable. Therefore, it is important for tourists to always preserve nature and follow the rules.
