About Diamond Beach

Diamond Beach is one of Nusa Penida's newest accessible attractions, featuring a stunning stretch of white sand beach surrounded by towering limestone cliffs. Until recently, this beach was nearly impossible to reach, but the construction of access stairs has made this hidden gem available to visitors while maintaining its pristine beauty.

The beach gets its name from the sparkling white sand that resembles diamonds when it catches the sunlight. The dramatic cliff formations create a natural amphitheater around the beach, providing spectacular viewpoints and photo opportunities. The contrast between the white limestone cliffs, pristine sand, and turquoise waters creates one of the most photogenic scenes in Indonesia.

Diamond Beach offers excellent swimming conditions with calm, clear waters protected by the surrounding cliffs. The beach remains relatively uncrowded due to its remote location on Nusa Penida's eastern coast, making it perfect for those seeking a peaceful beach experience away from the crowds.
