The waters around Nusa Penida are part of a marine park authority (MPA) and are home to diverse corals and fishes. Nusa Penida is part of the coral triangle which is a massive area renowned to be “the amazon of the sea” as it provides habit for the many fishes to breed in.
Nusa Penida is an icon of a tourist destination now in Bali, because the island saves a variety of fascinating natural beauty that has not been widely explored by travelers.
Below are some destinations on East Part Nusa Penida:
Atuh Beach
Atuh Beach on Nusa Penida is the type of place that takes your breath away at first glance. Atuh Beach is unique compared to most beaches in Bali. It’s flanked by two spectacular tall cliffs. The view from these cliffs is amazing. The arch that runs along the rock formation with crystal blue water, crashing waves, and white sand beach.
The hike down the stairs takes only 15 minutes but is quite steep. It’s physically tiring, especially climbing back up. But once you step on the white sand beach at the bottom of the staircase, you will be rewarded with the most gorgeous view of the Ocean. Best of all, there is rarely anyone at the beach, so you can have it all for yourself!
Giri Putri Cave
Traveling in Nusa Penida is not always just about the beach and snorkeling. You can also do religious holy temple tours. One of the spiritual tourisms in Nusa Penida is Giri Putri Cave. The cave temple is a blend of both the Hindu and Buddhist religions. Giri Putri is a most holy and spiritual experience for those looking for cleansing and meditation.
Pura Goa Giri Putri cave temple is located on the north-eastern tip of the Nusa Penida island. A unique and incredible temple hidden in the caves on the hillside. The entrance is deceptively small and hides the surprisingly spacious and magnificent cave inside. Goa Giri Putri is never empty of visitors. This cave is always filled by Hindus who want to pray and tourists both domestic and foreign who mostly want to know more about the religious rituals performed and the sacred atmosphere in the cave.
Diamond Beach
Diamond Beach is located on the far most eastern point of Nusa Penida Island. Nusa Penida has risen to fame over the last few years. The coastline of the entire island is incredible. There are so many amazing viewpoints from the top of the towering cliffs that look down to those classic blue waters Nusa Penida is famous for. Many of those cliffs look down on to beaches that are inaccessible and that was exactly the situation at Diamond Beach on Nusa Penida. A glistening white sand beach surrounded by verdant cliffs and turquoise water, Diamond Beach Penida is a hard to beat destination and one of the best places to visit on your Nusa Penida trip. The stairway only takes a few minutes to reach the bottom but provides amazing views throughout the climb up and down.
