Visiting 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 2019. When I went, there were 100+ people at Crystal Bay and a 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

There’s no entry fee here as of 2019.

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!
