Diniwid Beach

A 200-meter hidden bay at the end of a cliff path beyond the northern headland of White Beach. With only a few resorts and cliffside restaurants, it's quiet, the water is clear and it's a secret corner for sunsets away from the crowds.

Diniwid Beach lies beyond the headland at the north end of White Beach Station 1. Reach it by walking 5 to 10 minutes along a path carved into the cliff from the end of Station 1. The path runs along the sea and crosses a narrow stretch of rock that floods at high tide. Alternatively, take a tricycle downhill from the main road. The bay is only about 200 m long, enclosed by rocky headlands on both sides. The sand is the same as White Beach's, but the water is clearer and calmer. There are only a few boutique resorts (such as Nami and Diniwid Beach Resort) and two or three beach restaurants, with no vendors or commercial activity, so there are often just a dozen people on the entire beach. The clifftop restaurant on the eastern headland is one of the best places on the island to watch the sunset while you eat dinner. At low tide, you can walk over the rocks to the smaller Balinghai Bay to the north. Tips: walk over from Station 1 along the path at 4 p.m., swim, then wait for the sunset at the restaurant. Walk back or take a tricycle before dark. Early risers can come for a dawn swim. Notes: there are no lifeguards, and waves are big beyond the headlands, so swim within the bay. Parts of the cliff path flood at high tide, so check tide times and watch your footing on the slippery sections. Restaurant prices are higher than at D'Mall. Sea urchins occasionally appear on the beach, so wear water shoes.
