White sand under high cliffs with a lone rock standing offshore, reached by a steep unshaded descent.

Clifftop restaurant and pool on Penida's west coast, above the Crystal Bay side — the sunset stop after a day at Kelingking.

Sheltered white-sand bay and Nusa Penida's best swimming/snorkelling beach, with occasional mola-mola sightings.

Driftwood beach bar on the north coast near Toyapakeh — burgers, smoothie bowls and hammocks, and the island's easiest sunset.

Spring-fed bathing pools in forest above the south coast, down a steep track most people are driven in for.

Turquoise cove beach on the island's east coast, reached down a steep cliffside staircase.

Neighbouring cove to Atuh with towering limestone cliffs and a stone stairway down to the sand.

Dramatic T-Rex-shaped cliff overlooking a hidden white-sand cove — Nusa Penida's most photographed view.

Freshwater natural pool in a palm forest a short walk from a quiet beach on the island's south side.

Natural infinity-edge rock pool carved by the surf, swimmable only when the tide and swell allow.

Circular cliff-ringed cove with a natural rock archway open to the sea, right next to Angel's Billabong.
