Kelingking Beach Nusa Penida

"MY FAVORITE PLACE ON EARTH! Kelingking Beach, also known as T-Rex Beach, stands out as one of Nusa Penida's and the world's most renowned beaches due to its peculiar shape and captivating surroundings. The view from up above will take your breath away but the real beauty awaits those who venture down to the beach. Reaching the beach will be quite difficult and dangerous. Even though it features a more secure setup, the path is VERY steep and narrow, accompanied by bamboo railings throughout. If you don’t exercise often or don't have good shoes with you, maybe consider just enjoying the beach from the viewpoint. If you are brave enough to venture all the way down and reach the beach, you will be greeted by soft sand but shore-break dumping waves. This isn’t a beach for novice swimmers so avoid swimming if you are not sure you can handle these conditions. I strongly suggest waiting for the sunset, as it has been one of the most enchanting displays I've ever witnessed. Ensure you begin your climb back before it gets completely dark, as the return journey without sunlight could be quite challenging! Regardless of where you admire Kelingking Beach from, the stunning coastline will conquer your heart. "

"When someone mentions Bali, you likely picture this beach, right? However, this isn't exactly on Bali but on Nusa Penida, a neighboring island. This beach is one of the most stunning beaches in the world!🌊 It looks even better in real life but you may don´t know that the access to the beach is literally a hell. The first steps are manageable, with stone stairs tracing the cliff's edge. But then comes the real challenge. You have to go down the cliff just holding the bamboo ladder with one hand and your flip-flops in the second hand. It´s more like rock climbing. The way down lasts around an hour but trust me, the beach is absolutely worth the effort. There is even a small store where you can buy water or snacks. I think that in the future the government wants to build a massive lift to make it easier for more people, however, I think it will ruin the whole spirit of the place."

"If you've ever googled Indonesia or Bali, chances are you've seen the picture of a T-rex-shaped island from the top. It's called Kelingking viewpoint and it's very popular and tends to get very crowded. So make sure to visit early (before 9 am). You can also go down some narrow stairs to reach the beach but not many people do that because the climb down can be quite tough. If you do decide to do it, keep in mind that it will take roughly 45 mins to reach the beach and approximately 45 mins - 1 hour to climb up."
