How To See Atuh Beach Nusa Penida in Bali

Atuh Beach Nusa Penida, or Pantai Atuh, is a hidden beach located on the southeast coast of the island of Nusa Penida. The beach is isolated from beautiful green cliffs, while several limestone rock formations surround it, adding beauty to the area. You can access the white-sand beach from a specially designed staircase or try the narrow paths along a steep cliff if you’re feeling adventurous. You will want to see the Atuh beach sunrise or the Atuh beach treehouse. Nusa Penida has some amazing places to visit like Peguyangan waterfall which is the best waterfall on the island.

The beach is ideal for relaxing with spectacular views. However, the waters are not always conducive to swimming. If you are visiting Nusa Penida for at least 1 night, then I would highly recommend visiting Nusa Penida. There is also plenty of sweet places to stay on Nusa Penida such as the Nusa Penida treehouse (Rumah Pohon).

Nusa Penida is famous for someone of the most stunning things to see in Bali and probably the rest of the world. There is things like Kelingking beach sunset and the broken beach.

Review of Atuh Beach Nusa Penida, Bali

There are four main rocky outcrops and islets on the coast of Atuh Beach Nusa Penida Bali. All this contributes to the breathtaking view. Named by locals like Melawang Batu, Batu Abah, Batu and Bukit Pavone Jineng, it is Bukit Jineng, also known as Batu Bolong or “hollow rock” is more evident with its arched shape. Because of its remote location, you probably have one of the best Nusa Penida beaches for yourself for most of your visit. Low tides often reveal puddles rocks where you can see fish and marine life waiting to go to the next tide.

The descent to the beach takes about half an hour and the view is worth it, especially if you are a beach lover.

Among the beaches of Nusa Penida Treasure Island, Atuh Beach Bali takes place on one of the most beautiful beaches with spectacular views.

The view is really a breath of fresh air. The green-blue ocean is well protected by the steep peaks of the mountains and the perfectly distributed strip of sand just waiting to be stepped on.

The Nusa Penida Atuh beach is also called “hidden beach” because it is very well protected from the cliffs, which makes it difficult to locate it.

In addition to the usual beach activities, such as enjoying the of the sea breeze while searching in a book, you can also snorkel, dive or jump the cliff arch.

If you love amazing beaches you should definitely try and visit the broken beach which is one of the most stunning things to see on Nusa Penida. The Broken beach and Angels Billabong are amazing.
