Nusa Penida, Bali
The long way down to Kelingking
A limestone headland with a white beach at its foot and one steep path down to it. Scroll to walk it.

01
From the air
Everyone calls it the T-Rex.
From up here you can see why: a long neck of rock, and a head with its jaw in the sea.
02
The clifftop · 150 m
Most people stop at the railing.
They take the photo from this platform and head back to the car park. The beach is another 150 metres down.
03
The ridge · 95 m
The path runs along the spine.
Concrete steps first, then a ridge a few metres wide with a long drop on either side.
04
The switchbacks · 55 m
Then it gets steep.
Packed earth and bamboo rails, back and forth down the face above the beach. Your legs will know about it tomorrow.
05
The sand · 2 m
White coral sand, and a lot of noise.
The swell comes straight in off the Indian Ocean and breaks close to the beach. Most people only go in up to their knees.
