About Crystal Bay Nusa Penida
This incredibly protected bay is world famous in the diving scene as the place to see Mola Mola (the huge moon fish). If you are lucky enough to visit Crystal Bay Nusa Penida in the Mola-Mola season (August to October), I strongly recommend you to book a dive!
Even if you are not a diver, this beach is definitely worth a visit. It is close to the most important port city of Toya Packh, which makes it an excellent option for a day trip or a sunset when you stay on the island.

How do you come to Crystal Bay Nusa Penida?
The far best way to get to Crystal Bay and explore Nusa Penida is to rent your own motorcycle. You can get pons in your accommodation or in the many rental shops at the port.
A daily rent costs between 50,000 and 70,000 rupiah for a decent scooter.

On the way they pass beautiful streets lined with palm trees and picturesque villages and warning on the side of the road. The last place is the beach where they are asked to pay 10,000 rupiah to turn off your bike (standard on Nusa Penida).

Alternatively, if you prefer to see the best highlights from Nusa Penida on a guided tour, then you can do that too. There are many different companies that offer tours from Bali to Nusa Penida, but when booking you should confirm a few things: To save you the effort of searching and having to spare you, I linked the best rated and cheapest journey below, which contains a visit to Nusa Penidas Crystal Bay for snorkeling. Price: Tour to the highlights of Nusa Penida from Bali Alt = “Kelingking-Strand, Nusa Penida, Bali”> Kelingking-Strand As soon as you arrive in Crystal Bay, you will undoubtedly discover a few tourists who have spread on the sandy beaches. You can either join them or borrow snorkeling equipment from one of the boys who work in the small beach bars in Bali-style. In the middle of the Bay of Crystal Bay there is a small, rocky island. We swam to this island to look at it. If you also take the slightly leaked paths on the left side of the bay (with a view to the sea), you can climb a viewpoint from which you have a good view of the beach and the island. Unfortunately, my camera card was damaged from this trip, so I lost my great photos of Crystal Bay! Fortunately, I still have some cell phone and underwater shots from this point!
