About Nusa Penida

Nusa Penida lies 20 km south-east of Sanur, reachable by fast boat in 45 minutes. Its wild limestone terrain, impossibly blue water, and total absence of traffic lights makes it feel entirely different from mainland Bali. Kelingking Beach — the 'T-Rex cliff' — is the most photographed viewpoint in Bali. Angel's Billabong is a natural tidal rock pool at the cliff edge. Broken Beach is an arch-roofed bay. And Manta Point, in the channel between Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan, is one of the world's most reliable manta ray snorkelling sites.
