💡 Tips

Visit Diamond Beach at sunrise for the best photo lighting and to beat the midday heat.
Be extremely careful on the steep and narrow stairs leading down to Diamond Beach.
The Thousand Islands viewpoint has a spectacular panorama and is just a short walk from the parking area.
Wear sturdy shoes as the paths to the viewpoints are often uneven and dusty.
Hire a driver if you aren't an experienced motorbike rider, as the coastal roads are very steep.

Pejukutan is located at the easternmost tip of Nusa Penida, home to some of the most dramatic and photographed landscapes in Indonesia. The region is defined by towering limestone cliffs that drop sharply into the churning Indian Ocean. The raw beauty and untamed nature of this area make it a top destination for adventurers and photographers seeking the first-rate shot. The coastline here features several world-class beaches. Diamond Beach is famous for its namesake diamond-shaped rock and the striking staircase carved into the side of the cliff. Right next to it is Atuh Beach, a beautiful crescent-shaped bay flanked by massive rock arches, great for swimming during high tide. Sebele Beach features a more secluded experience, away from the main tourist trail, providing a quiet spot to enjoy the island's rugged shore. Local life in Pejukutan remains traditional, with coconut farming being a major part of the community's livelihood. Getting here requires a long ride or drive from the main ports on Nusa Penida, and the roads can be quite bumpy and steep. Despite the challenging journey, the panoramic views of the ocean and the sheer scale of the cliffs make Pejukutan an unforgettable destination.
