Places to visit on the west side of Nusa Penida Island
We toured the west side of Nusa Penida because it has lots of breathtaking beaches and stunning views.
Kelingking beach
Kelingking beach is the most beautiful and famous beach of Nusa Penida. However, the hike down to the beach is a difficult one and takes 40-60 minutes. Swimming in the beach is unsafe due to the strong waves.
Angel’s Billabong
Angel’s billabong is a natural pool in the cliff. The high tide fills the pool with sea waves and during low tide the natural pool appears. There are also many spots for taking pictures which charge a small fee.
Broken beach
Broken beach is a circular bay. It a unique and spectacular marvel of nature which has a large natural hole having crystal-clear blue water with an arch overlooking the sea.
