The Charm of Diamond Beach Nusa Penida – Pantai Terindah Di Bali
As you know, Nusa Penida has become the jewel of Bali that many people dream of. The natural exoticism is truly amazing and it would be a shame to miss it. Some of the tourist attractions that must be visited are the Molenteng Tree House, Atuh Beach and Diamond Beach Nusa Penida.
Famous for its amazing beauty, this small island is separate from Bali. Located on the south-eastern side, one of the destinations is Diamond Beach, a place not to be missed.
Diamond Beach, named after the sharp diamond shaped rocks found on the beach, is a truly extraordinary cliff beach on the eastern part of the island of Nusa Penida.
Diamond Beach Nusa Penida is probably my favourite beach in Bali. It looks very similar to Suwehan Beach, but according to tourists this place is nicer.
This guide will tell you how to get to Diamond Beach Nusa Penida and everything you need to know before you go!

Diamond Beach Nusa Penida
Nusa Penida's Diamond Beach only became accessible in late 2018, when the path down to the beach was carved and shaped to allow tourists to walk down the cliffs. Prior to the construction of the road, the only way to have a view of the beauty of the beach would have been from above.
Although the road is still a guardrail walkway, you can safely reach the bottom if careful. At the bottom of Diamond Beach Nusa Penida, there is a perfect stretch of white sand and the water is a bright turquoise.
However, it is the large rock in the shape of a diamond that is the symbol of this beach and, in my opinion, one of the most extraordinary beaches in the world.
The Allure of Nusa Penida's Diamond Beach
Like most beaches, Diamond Beach definitely has an attraction that makes tourists stay longer. Some of the things that really catch the attention of people who visit it are:
1. Natural beach
Many beaches in Nusa Penida are untouched by man. One of the flagship beaches is Diamond Beach. This beach still feels very natural with the colour of the sea water being very blue and beautiful.
It is surrounded by a number of other beaches and is a must if you are on holiday in Nusa Penida.
2. Clean white beach sand
The second attraction is that the beach sand is very white and clean, which makes visitors feel more at home. You can play with your family and children on this sandy beach, so the atmosphere will be very pleasant.
3. Surrounded by karst cliffs
Interestingly, this beach is surrounded by karst cliffs. Karst itself is a form of closed depression on the earth's surface, surface drainage and caves. This beach, surrounded by karst cliffs, will feel very natural.
4. Towering karst cliffs
The karst cliffs rise very high and can even be used as a very good photo spot. However, as the cliffs are very steep and sheer, this activity must be carried out with great care and safety is a priority.
5. Hilly backgrounds and exceptional views to photograph
Apart from the view of the karst cliffs, there is another very impressive photo spot, namely the view of the green hills, which, in combination with the karst cliffs, the sea, the clouds and the sky, will make the photos even more amazing.
If you take the pictures from above with a drone, everything will look good. Try uploading the photos to social media, many people will definitely like them and ask where you took them.
In this way, Diamond Beach Nusa Penida can be a recommended tourist spot that must be visited while on holiday in Bali and stopping by this small island.
Diamond Beach Facilities
When you visit this beach, you need to see what facilities are available so that you can predict what you can do. Some interesting facilities that are no less good and complete than other tourist attractions, namely
- The stairs carved out of white coral can be used as photo spots because they face the open sea of the Indian Ocean.
- The hills are high, so they make good photo backgrounds.
- There is a swing which can be used to get your adrenaline pumping as it is located on the edge of the cliff.
- Close to other tourist attractions such as Atuh Beach.
- Toilets and small food stalls.
When you look at some of the facilities, this tourist attraction could be a hidden paradise. Not only are there public facilities, but some of the facilities are good photo spots.
Entrance fees and access to Diamond Beach Nusa Penida
