kelingking beach, klungkung places of interest

Kelingking Beach is located in Bunga Mekar Village, Banjar Karang Dawa, Nusa Penida. This beach is one of the most famous tourist attractions in the Nusa Penida Bali tour package. This tourist attraction is one of the most visited destinations, and Kelingking Beach is also one of the Klungkung places of interest as the main destination when visiting Nusa Penida Village. The view is very beautiful from above, with the shape of a natural rock that resembles a middle finger and is considered by some tourists to be similar to a dinosaur. Many tourists come here specifically to take pictures with Kelingking Beach in the background, while others choose to go down and swim at this beach.

If you visit Kelingking Beach, here’s what you need to know:

Kelingking Beach First Discovered

Kelingking Beach was first discovered in 2003 by foreign tourists from the Czech Republic and Australia. At that time, the area was still in the form of shrubs that had not been visited as a tourist attraction. The discoverers added that the Czech tourist learned about Kelingking Beach while diving. From under the sea, he saw the potential of this place as a good tourist destination. Although it looks short from the top of the cliff, Kelingking Beach is actually very wide, about 80 meters wide, with fine white sand. During low tide, visitors can see manta rays swimming around the beach.

History Kelingking Beach

The origin of the name Kelingking Beach comes from the shape of a coral that resembles a human little finger, which was seen by the local community. The coral inspired them to call it Kelingking Beach. The word “Kelingking” in Indonesian refers to the little finger, which corresponds to the shape of the coral. In addition to this name, tourists also often refer to this beach as a dinosaur-like place due to the shape of the coral, which looks like a dinosaur. Here, you can also go down to the beach for a swim, although it requires some effort to walk down the small and steep path to the bottom.

Kelingking Beach is now one of the most popular tourist attractions on Nusa Penida Island because of its natural beauty and breathtaking scenery to photograph. Many tourists visit this place to enjoy the incredible natural beauty, and some tourists even go down to the beach to get a hands-on experience in this hidden place with vast white sand stretching between the coral reefs. The waves are not too big, making it a suitable location for swimming. However, access to this beach is quite difficult, as it requires a steep path to get down. Going down may not require much extra effort, but going back up requires greater stamina. Kelingking Beach is well known online, especially when looking for information about Nusa Penida. This is due to its popularity among foreign tourists who admire the phenomenal coral reef that is perfect for capturing on Instagram.

Going Down Kelingking Beach

To get down to the bottom of Kelingking Beach, extra stamina and caution are required, as the road is in poor condition with many rocks around. Wooden guardrails are installed on the edge of the cliff to maintain safety and provide a handrail when descending. The path is only about 1 meter wide, enough for one person only, and if you meet other visitors, you need to tilt your body to pass each other. The journey from top to bottom takes about 30-45 minutes, assuming your stamina is good enough. If not, it’s better to enjoy the view from the top. Although the view from the bottom is breathtaking with its vast white sand and clear water, coming back up will be more difficult as it is against gravity. Another alternative is to rent a boat to come to the beach via the sea route, although this can be quite expensive. However, if the goal is just to enjoy its natural beauty, seeing it from above is mesmerizing enough.
