Kelingking Beach

The Nusa Islands, located just 30 minutes from the mainland of Bali, are becoming an increasingly popular tourist destination. They are a welcome escape from the madness of Bali itself and are well worth a visit if you are in the area.

One of the iconic spots on three islands is the Kelingking coast, and when you see a unique rock formation resembling T-Rex, it's easy to see why it has become famous.

The beach itself is paradise, however, you must attempt the climb at your own risk. It’s a steep climb and the route down isn’t very stable, so if you do decide to attempt it be sure to wear sensible shoes.

Best Time to Visit: Dry seasons runs from May to September

How to get there: If you are exploring the island by moped, the beach is accessible that way. Or alternatively, there are daily organized tours that can take you there.

Where to stay: There aren’t many hostels to be found on the island, however, Nuansa Penida Hostel is highly recommended. The beautiful boutique hostel includes a free continental brekky too! Beds from £11.89 a night
