Kelingking Beach Address & Map

Diamond Beach located in the in the village of Pejukutan, Nusa Penida, Kelungkung regency, Bali, Indonesia.

The beach is near two other attractions on Nusa Penida that we highly recommend. Atuh Beach is to the left of Diamond Beach and Thousand Island Viewpoint is to the right.

How to Get to Diamond Beach Nusa Penida

As mentioned earlier Diamond Beach Nusa Penida is located on the east coast of the island, right next to the more famous Atuh Beach.

It takes around one hour to drive from Toya Pakeh Harbour to Diamond Beach and the best way to get there is by hiring a scooter.

These will most likely be available to rent from your hotel or guest house for about 80,000 IDR to 100,000 IDR a day.

However, due to the fast driving cars and narrow roads, we don’t recommend driving a motorbike on Nusa Penida.

So the best and safer way is to book the East Nusa Penida Island Tour from Bali Cheapest Tours which is the most reputable local tour company in Bali, which is has huge excellent reviews on TripAdvisor.

Usually the price of that tour around 60 to 80 USD per person, and which included of return hotel transfer, fast boat tickets, meals, and taxes.

And the tour itinerary will pack your trip to Diamond beach it self, Atuh beach, Thousand Island Viewpoint and Rumah Pohon "Tree House". Its mean you can take it all in one fell swoop.

Access to Diamond Beach Nusa Penida

Access to the beach wasn’t possible until late 2018. With the new stairs, carved out of the limestone, you can now get down to the beach in 20 minutes.

It is advised to only visit Diamond Beach during low tide. The sea on this side is very rough and can easily be dangerous. You can reach the beach by walk over and around the rocks.

The hardest part is actually once you make it down to the ground, where you’ll need to navigate your way through some bushes, down a stony hill and over some rocks in the sea.

Unfortunately, Diamond Beach is not made for swimming. Every wave contains a lot of coral and rocks which makes it quite painful.

If you are fast enough and go in between the waves you can have a good cool down in the sea.

Just be very careful with the current. It is a new, unknown spot and there is no help down here.

What To Expect at Diamond Beach Nusa Penida

There are two parts to Diamond Beach, one has vivid green mossy rocks and tidal rock pools but unfortunately quite of bit of trash was washed up on the sand here.

The second part of Diamond Beach Nusa Penida has glistening white sand, coconut palm trees, small caves and a more suitable spot for swimming.

The huge cliffs tower over you as you lay on the untouched sand. It is almost a little nerve-wracking being below such a huge wall of rock.

The most important rock though is the diamond shaped rock in the shallows of the water. The beach is after all named after this diamond-shaped rock I believe.

A small warung resides down on Diamond Beach Nusa Penida where you can buy cold refreshments and local dishes such as mie goreng and nasi goreng.

There is also some underlying reef and rock so it isn’t the best beach for swimming but it is definitely possible. There were also a few turtles about!

Best Time To Visit Diamond Beach Nusa Penida

Diamond Beach Nusa Penida can be visited at anytime of the day, between March and November, avoiding the rainy season which is December through till February.

However the best time to visit is in the morning, around 05:30 am for sunrise. Due to the location of Diamond Beach facing east.

That being said if you plan for a good sunrise in Nusa Penida then either Diamond Beach, Atuh Beach, Molenteng Beach, or Rumah Pohon Treehouse and Thousand Island Viewpoint are definitely the best spots out East.

Diamond Beach Nusa Penida Entrance Fee

Visit to the Diamond Beach Nusa Penida are subject to an entrance fee of 10,000 IDR per person, and 5,000 IDR for parking.

And you can access both Diamond Beach and Atuh Beach by parking in the same car park as well.

And the payment should be cash in Indonesian Rupiah (IDR), so please prepare small cash before you come here.

About Diamond Beach Nusa Penida

The long stretch of pristine sand and clear blue sea mean that Diamond Beach Nusa Penida is the perfect spot to relax, swim and sunbathe for a few hours.

However, due to the fact that it’s only just become accessible, the beach is still very wild and untamed, meaning that it’s exceptionally beautiful but also potentially quite dangerous.

A surfing Mecca, Bali is renowned for its waves and Nusa Penida is no different. This means that on some days the swell can be huge and hidden dangers like powerful rip currents and a rocky seabed can make it too hazardous to swim at Diamond Beach.

Please do bear this in mind before braving the waters. Additionally, while there is no official access to the beach you’ll need to climb over rocks in the water in order to reach it, so be sure to keep an eye on the sea and leave before high tide arrives.

Don’t let these factors put you off though. I can’t stress enough the satisfaction you’ll get if you do make the effort to visit Diamond Beach.

The chance to visit such a picture-perfect, untouched beach is a rare one and it’s an experience not to be missed.

If you’re looking for more creature comforts, you can walk over to Atuh Beach, where you’ll find sunbeds, bean bags and a series of warungs serving food and drink.
