Atuh Beach
Beach in Pejukutan (Islands).
Atuh Beach is a crescent of white sand at Pejukutan on Nusa Penida's east coast, set in a bay between high limestone cliffs, with rock islets and a natural arch just offshore. Steps lead down from the clifftop, and Diamond Beach lies just around the headland to the southwest; warungs on the sand sell drinks and simple meals. The bay catches the sunrise, offers snorkeling, and looks its best at high tide.
