Hey, have you heard about the โsecretโ side of Nusa Penida? This place is already famous for mainstream spots like Kelingking Beach or Angel’s Billabong, but there are some Nusa Penida secret spots that not many people know about. So, Hey Bali would like to share with you some experiences from our tour in the western part of Nusa Penida that are really uncommon and that you might not have heard of before.
Nusa Penida Secret Spots Part 1
Walking Along the Secluded Shores of Prapat Beach
Most people head to the beach expecting crowds and activity, but at Prapat Beach, youโll find something entirely different. This Nusa Penida secret spot is incredibly quiet and rarely visited, giving you the sensation of having the entire beach to yourself. The serene atmosphere and the sound of gentle waves make it a perfect place to unwind and enjoy a peaceful day by the sea. If you come in the afternoon, the light casts a beautiful glow over the water, enhancing the sense of tranquility. It truly feels like your own private paradise!
Explore the Mini Version of Goa Giri Putri
Here’s another one of those Nusa Penida secret spots that people rarely know: a small cave, reminiscent of Goa Giri Putri, but much less known. Hey Bali was once invited by a local guide to this hidden gem with no name. The location is a bit off the beaten path, and you have to be extra careful when entering. Inside this cave, there are some uniquely shaped stalactites and stalagmites, and the atmosphere inside is really calmโperfect for those of you who want to meditate or just contemplate away from the hustle and bustle of tourists.
Chat with Local Fishermen in Suana Village
This may sound mundane, but try chatting with local fishermen in Suana Village, another of the Nusa Penida secret spots. They have interesting stories about life in Nusa Penida that you won’t find on the internet. Hey Bali talked to one of the fishermen there, and he told us about traditional fishing techniques that have been passed down from generation to generation. They even invited Hey Bali to try it directly, and it was an experience that made us appreciate the marine nature in Nusa Penida even more.
Exploring Seaweed Farms
Most people don’t realize that Nusa Penida is a big seaweed producer, and visiting the seaweed farms is one of the Nusa Penida secret spots. Hey Bali was invited by the locals to take a walk through a seaweed plantation. They explained how to cultivate it, from planting to harvesting. It was really fun to see this process firsthand, and afterwards, Hey Bali was invited to taste food made from fresh seaweed. The taste? Unique and so fresh!
Stargazing Atop Teletubbies Hill
You might have heard of Teletubbies Hill, which is famous for its undulating green scenery. But what not many people know is that this hill is also one of the best Nusa Penida secret spots for stargazing. Hey Bali spent a night there with friends, and the view of the night sky is absolutely incredible. There’s no light pollution, so you can see thousands of stars clearly. If you’re lucky, you can even see the Milky Way. Super magical!
So, those are some of the unique and uncommon things you can do in western Nusa Penida. It’s truly an experience that makes Hey Bali love Nusa Penida even more, and Hey Bali is sure you’ll find these Nusa Penida secret spots as enchanting as we did.eel the same way. If you get the chance, try exploring this other side of Nusa Penida – you won’t regret it!
