All the things you should know about Crystal Bay Nusa Penida Bali

Crystal Bay Nusa Penida Bali is one of the most popular and well-known beaches in Bali island. Bali is famous for its incredible beaches, including Crystal Bay which is situated in Nusa Penida. There are many things you have to know about this beach. This article will guide you to the fantastic journey to imagine the beauty of Crystal Bay. Let’s check it out.

Why is it called by Crystal Bay

Maybe you are wondering why this beach is called by Crystal Bay. If you have not gone there, you never know precisely the view of this beach except looking at the photos and pictures on the internet. But, you should know that the name of Crystal Bay is taken from the clear water that this beach has.

The water of the beach is very clear just like a crystal so that you could spot many sea animals underwater clearly without having a dive. Because of its clear water, many tourists, both domestic and international are motivated to do scuba diving or snorkeling. By having these activities, you can also explore the biodiversity of the underwater world in Nusa Penida Bali. I bet that it will be the most amazing journey you have ever had in your life. Therefore, if you go to Bali, you have to include this destination in your traveling bucket list. You will not be disappointed by having a vacation here.

How you get there

Although the location of Crystal Bay Nusa Penida Bali is quite isolated from the city. You should not worry about transportation which could bring you there. Because there are lots of transportation, you can choose to get you there. The most popular transportation which is usually used by visitors is a fast boat or speed boat. The quick ship commonly picks you up in Sanur beach harbor or Klungkung Pesinggahan harbor. Besides the speed boat, you can also hire a traditional wooden sailing ship provided by local people from Sanur, Kusamba, or Padang Bali. By using traditional ships, you will be asked to pay a more affordable ticket fee, but I would not recommend you to take this option if you are not patient enough to enjoy the trip since it takes a longer time than if you use the fast boat. You can check and book the ticket fee for using the speed boat online. The average price charges you for about $10 per person for one way.

Well, after having a trip with a speed boat from Sanur beach harbor, you can either hire a car or motorcycle in Nusa Penida harbor. You will spend approximately 30 minutes from the port to Crystal Bay beach. The interesting fact related to Crystal Bay is that you do not have to pay the entrance fee, because it is free. You are only asked to pay the parking ticket which is cheap enough. Other nearest destinations to Crystal Bay which you can include in your bucket list, are Kelingking beach, Broken beach, and Angel’s Billabong.

What you can explore in Crystal Bay

You can do many activities in Crystal Bay. The simplest way to enjoy the scenery on this beach is by walking around the coast. Every spot in Crystal Bay is worth to take pictures. So, if you are keen on photography, this place is the perfect place for you to capture your target pictures. The best moment for you to take photographs in Crystal Bay is sunset. You could not imagine how breathtaking the view from Crystal Bay is if you have not experienced it before. Enjoy your time here by taking as many pictures as you can!

Also, like what I have said earlier, most tourists commonly spend their time here by having scuba diving or snorkeling and swimming. The best time to do diving or snorkeling is in the mid-year when you can find the mysterious of mola-mola fish (oceanic sunfish) and manta rays. Or maybe if you do not want to do all of these activities, you can just lay down on the shore, doing nothing on the sand, and enjoying the fresh air. Another thing you can do here is fishing! Fishing is allowed on this beach as long as you follow the provided guidance. What I mean by the provided guidance is that you do not use harmful materials for fishing which could danger the underwater biodiversity.

Where to stay in Nusa Penida Bali

An essential thing to manage when having a vacation in Bali is your accommodation! Since Bali is famous as the place for a holiday, you have to think about where you have to stay because in some months there will be peak visitors to Bali. Here I will give you some recommendations regarding the hotels or bungalows you can check for your potential accommodations while in Bali, especially near Crystal Bay in Nusa Penida.

First, The Tinsi. It is one of the hotels run by local people. They are friendly enough and will help and provide you everything you need for your stay in Bali. It is also really close to Crystal Bay, for about 10 minutes walking. You have to pay $43 per night per room if you want to spend your night in this place. It is an excellent value for money.

Second, Ruji Ananta Cottage. Just like The Tinsi, the location of Ruji Ananta Cottage is near the Crystal Bay, where you can snorkel or scuba diving every time you want. You do not have to use transportation to get you to the beach. You need to walk from the hotel to the beach, which is right for you and your budget. To stay here, you need to spend approximately $51 per night per person, a little bit more expensive than The Tinsi, but it is also worth the money.

The last is Penida Bay Village. Located near Crystal Bay beach, Penida Bay Village is surrounded by a lush tropical garden which could give you a new sensation of the holiday experience. This garden is usually used by the visitors to hang out with their family or new people they meet. You can also have a night party in this hotel by asking the hotel management to run you this.
