Diamond Beach (Nusa Penida)
Pantai Diamond
A small white-sand bay on the east coast of Nusa Penida. A staircase cut into the cliff and offshore rocks make a classic picture, and it is the core stop of the east-side day trip.
Diamond Beach lies at the eastern tip of Nusa Penida. A zigzag staircase cut into the cliff face leads down to a white-sand bay, where several sharp rocks stand offshore. The white sand and blue water make for excellent photos. The stairs take about 20-30 minutes round trip and have handrails, but they are quite steep. On the beach there are paid photo spots such as swings, and swimming is prohibited when the waves are big. Just next door are Atuh Beach and the Thousand Islands viewpoint, and farther north is the trendy Rumah Pohon tree house. Together they form the east-side route of Nusa Penida. Entrance and parking fees are modest. The east road is in better condition than the west, so you can hire a car for this side alone, or combine it with Kelingking Beach on the west side for a one-day trip, though time is tight. Staying one night on the island is more relaxed.
