Kelingking Beach
If there is one beach not to be missed in Nusa Penida, it is Kelingking Beach. Between its dizzying cliffs, its golden sand and its turquoise water, the scenery is simply spectacular. Despite the presence of the unfinished elevator structure on the cliff, which distorts the landscape a little, the beauty of the place remains absolutely striking once there.
We recommend going there late in the afternoon, ideally for sunset. The light becomes magnificent on the cliffs and the crowds decrease considerably, which makes the experience much more pleasant.
If you want to go to the beach, bring good shoes. The descent is steep, physical and sometimes slippery, as is the climb back up. It requires some effort, but remains accessible to most people in good physical condition. And it is precisely this difficulty which limits the number of visitors on the beach, allowing you to enjoy a much calmer atmosphere than at the viewpoint located at the top.
Once down, the setting is exceptional. Even though swimming is not always allowed depending on sea conditions, we were lucky enough to be able to get in the water and enjoy the waves.
For us, Kelingking Beach is one of the most beautiful places in Nusa Penida and an experience we would definitely recommend.
