Diamond Beach
Beach in Nusa Penida (Islands).
Diamond Beach is a small white-sand cove below the cliffs of Nusa Penida's east coast, with pointed limestone pinnacles rising from the shallows. It is reached by a steep stairway cut into the cliff face in 2018, with a rope to hold on the lowest section. Morning light falls on the cove; the waves and currents are strong, and swimming has been banned here since January 2023.
