Puyung Beach In Nusa Penida, Bali
Puyung Beach on Nusa Penida island is one of the nicest white sand beaches in Bali, but it’s still completely unknown to most visitors.
This beach also happens to be just a short distance from some of the most popular tourist sites in Penida.
This travel guide will explain how to get there, and everything you need to know before you go!Where To Stay
Puyung Beach
Puyung is actually the 3rd of 3 beaches in a row, separated by hills that you need to hike in order to reach them:
- 1. Crystal Beach
- 2. Pandan Beach
- 3. Puyung Beach
This means you will need to pass through Crystal and Pandan beaches in order to visit Puyung.
Puyung is still very much a hidden beach as of 2020. When I went, there were 100+ people at Crystal Bay and a small handful at Pandan, but no one at all at Puyung.
If you can find it, there’s a good chance the beach will be all yours!
I love the white sand at Puyung, and the high rock walls. It’s a beautiful setting.
This beach probably won’t stay hidden for long, so enjoy it while it lasts.
Entrance Fees
FREE as of 2020.
There’s no entry fee here.
How To Get To Puyung Beach
Puyung Beach is on the west side of Nusa Penida island.
You can reach it on foot from Crystal Bay, which is accessible by car or scooter with a small parking fee.
From Crystal Bay, walk south until you reach the end of the beach. You’ll find a hidden path in the trees. Follow this path over the hill for 20-30 minutes and you’ll arrive at Pandan Beach.
Proceed to the south end of Pandan Beach, and you’ll find another hidden clearing in the trees.
The entrance is a bit hard to see, since it’s hidden in the bushes (picture below).
Follow this hidden path for another 20-30 minutes as it climbs over the slope, and then you’ll arrive at Puyung Beach!

Nusa Penida Private Driver
If you want to explore Nusa Penida in the comfort and safety of a van with a driver, my top recommendation would be Klook.
Their price is 540k IDR ($35 USD) for a full day of driving and sightseeing in Penida (up to 10 hours) for 1-5 passengers. That's the total price for the whole van + driver + petrol! It's a steal.
We've used Klook for lots of tours and activities around the world, and they're great! Highly recommended.

Where We Stayed
We stayed at Saren Villa on the north coast of Nusa Penida, and paid 240k IDR ($15 USD) for a private double room with cold A/C, hot shower, and good WiFi.
This is one of the cheapest options in Penida, and it's in a great location near the best restaurants! We were happy.
Prices may fluctuate from time to time, so just keep an eye out for a good deal.
