Kelingking Cliff in Nusa Penida Island, Bali Province
In Nusa Penida Island, tourists won’t miss an opportunity to visit the famous Kelingking Beach. At the same location, they may find another allure too, which is called Kelingking Cliff. That site is suitable for sightseeing and photography! Not to mention tourists are able to enjoy trekking and exploration. The soothing nuance and beautiful sea scenery help them to relax, somehow. Some people call it Kelingking Secret Point, due to the fact that it resides in a secluded spot. Thus, it suits adventurers and those who love challenges! Later, visitors can also visit the beach and enjoy some tourist activities there.
The Nuance
Kelingking Cliff or Kelingking Secret Point resides on a highland, so it has both refreshing air and stunning panoramas. Two major views are the white sandy shoreline and Karang Dewa coral reef. The soothing nuance is one thing, but people are also impressed with the size. According to the locals, the cliff has a height of about 150 meters above sea level. Beneath it, a shoreline resides with a length of 80 meters. The name is Kelingking Beach.
Exploring Kelingking Cliff
The best allure that tourists can see in Kelingking Cliff is a unique contour of the cliff, which looks like a whale. The locals call it Karang Dawa Cliff. The only disappointment is related to the accessibility. Tourists are not able to reach the bottom part of the cliff! Instead, they can freely explore the surface of the landscape and conduct photography in that area. For others, sightseeing and enjoying breezy wind are enough for them.
Here is the tip. Visitors should not forget to come with a local guide who can show the best direction and information regarding the cliff. In terms of history, the site was found in 2003 by foreigners. Due to their exposition, more people know the site and visit it over time. This has become a great partner to the beach itself. That means tourists can enjoy two different natural attractions in the same location. What a wonderful combination! These days, some people even decide to build a tent and spend the night on the cliff!
Those who visit Kelingking Cliff should reach the beach as well. It would be a waste if tourists miss the chance to explore the shoreline. The nuance is serene and the beauty is absolute. Everyone would have a great vacation experience there regardless of the time of visit. It is also recommended to carry a camera and some snacks for a better experience.
