Why you'll love it
Nusa Penida is a rugged island off Bali's southeast coast, known for towering cliffs and some of Indonesia's most photographed beaches. It scores 9 out of 10 for beaches and nature, and 8 for adventure and romance, so it suits travellers who want wild scenery and time on the water.
The best time to visit Nusa Penida is May to September, the dry season, with clear days and calmer seas for snorkelling. The wet season brings more rain and rougher crossings.
Fast boats from Sanur take about 30 to 45 minutes. Kelingking Beach and its dinosaur-shaped headland are the classic view, with a steep path down. Broken Beach, Angel's Billabong and Diamond Beach are other highlights. Snorkelling trips visit Manta Point to swim with manta rays. Roads are rough in places, so many visitors hire a driver.
Nusa Penida suits adventurous couples, snorkellers and photographers.
