More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Morning light slices the Indian Ocean as a speedboat cleaves away from Sanur; within an hour Nusa Penida’s raw cliffs rise out of the blue, daring you to look closer. The day unfolds like a sequence of frames: the stone arch and porthole of Broken Beach, a sun-polished lagoon at Angel’s Billabong, the bone-white crescent below Kelingking’s dinosaur-shaped headland, and the palm-fringed calm of Crystal Bay where visibility drops away into deep water.
