Kelingking Beach  

Kelingking Beach tops the list when we talk about the most beautiful beaches in Bali. Surrounded by cliffs forming the shape of a T-Rex, the beach is hidden and can only be accessed through a short hike. However, it is also one of the most recognised attractions in Bali and offers amazing views of the Indian Ocean. The beach is located in the village of Bunga Mekar, on the southwestern coast of Nusa Penida Island and tourists can visit by taking a 40 to 50 minutes’ boat ride from Sanur.
