Kelingking Beach
Bali, Indonesia
  • #24 IN THE WORLD
WHY WE LOVE KELINGKING
For those seeking adventure before reaching paradise, this beach is not for the faint-hearted! Located in Nusa Penida, Indonesia, the remote and secluded beach requires you to climb a steep cliff that descends 400 meters before reaching its breathtaking beauty. Nestled between lush jungle-covered mountains and surrounded by an extraordinary symphony of blue waters, this slice of heaven is like something straight out of Jurassic Park. The cliff itself resembles the shape of a T-Rex, with its head on the left and the body and tail wrapping around to the right. Whether you come to take a picture from above or descend to the bottom, the experience is worth every effort!

WHEN TO SEE IT AT ITS BEST

There’s hardly ever a bad time to visit Nusa Penida, but the best time is during the driest season, which is from May to September. We highly recommend spending 2-3 days to explore all the wonders of Nusa Penida, but you can also do a day trip from Bali. For exploring the beauty of Kelingking Beach, it's best to avoid peak times of 11 am to 3 pm. Instead, visit during the early morning or 3 pm for a wonderful time at the beach. If you only want to see the beach from above, aim for 4 pm to 5 pm. Sunsets are also spectacular from here. If you plan to go down to the beach, come prepared, take precautions when getting those epic shots, and bring plenty of water.
