This small Indonesian island has fulfilled all my fantasies about the sea

If I were to send a postcard of the Indonesian sea, then Nusa Penida would undoubtedly be the place to feature. Otherwise, the official wallpaper for the iPhone wouldn't have been shot here. This place really has a dreamy vibe. Unlike the gentle waves and soft beaches of other islands, the sea here is more about being surging, grand, and having the jelly blue of tumultuous waves. If you want to get up close and personal with the sea here, it's a game for the brave. 📌📌How to get there Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan are both next to Bali. It takes about an hour by boat from Sanur Pier. You can buy round-trip boat tickets to the island and then rent a car or motorcycle to explore, or you can simply join a day tour for convenience. Both have their advantages, so choose according to your own preferences and needs. 📷📷Must-visit spots 1️⃣ Devil's Tears - Nusa Lembongan An old but still very charming hotspot. The passionate royal blue waves crash against the rocks, creating huge sprays and dazzling rainbows in the sunlight. There used to be no fences, but now they have been built for safety reasons. Any corner around here is great for taking photos. 2️⃣ Dream Beach - Nusa Lembongan Next to Devil's Tears, the beach is small, but the sand is fine and soft, and the waves are great for surfing. You can sit in a café by the beach, drinking beverages and eating ice cream, and it really feels like summer. 3️⃣ Angel's Billabong - Nusa Penida The hottest spot is right here, with cliffs and precipices amidst the vast sea. The white, soft sand beach meets the surging jelly sea once again. This is also a location where Apple's iPhone wallpaper was shot. If you want to walk down to the beach, you need to hike a very steep and difficult trail. The round trip takes about 2 hours. 4️⃣ Crystal Bay - Nusa Penida The calm lake-like water next to the surging sea. This place is like a bath reserved for the gods. When the waves are small, you can walk down to the 'bath' to take photos. I even saw a group of dolphins jumping here! ‼️‼️Travel tips ✅ When taking photos, try using wide-angle and telephoto lenses for unexpected surprises!! You can try using 0.5x wide-angle for portraits and 5x telephoto for seaside shots. ✅ Bring sunscreen and a raincoat, as it is currently the rainy season in Indonesia, and heavy rain can come suddenly. ✅ The road conditions on Nusa Penida are quite poor, so if you plan to rent a motorcycle, assess your driving skills. ✅ If you have enough time, you can stay on Nusa Lembongan or Nusa Penida for one or two nights. If you're short on time or just want to check off a few classic spots for photos, a day tour will do. I took a day tour of both Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida, and it was quite good. If it's a single island tour, there will be time for snorkeling and swimming. ✅ There are now many restaurants and convenience stores on the island, so there's no need to bring too much food with you.
