The story of Diamond Beach

Diamond Beach on Nusa Penida's east coast was almost unreachable until locals carved a staircase into the limestone cliff. Its sharp rock pinnacles rising from the sea give it its name.

Below is a small white beach with clear turquoise water. Next door, Atuh Beach is a larger bay with a natural rock arch and simple warungs.
