Diamond Beach, located on Nusa Penida, Bali, is renowned for its breathtaking views, pristine white sands, and dramatic cliffside stairs. Access to the beach requires a steep and challenging descent via carved stone steps, making it unsuitable for those with mobility issues or young children; sturdy footwear is essential. While it can be visited solo by hiring a scooter or car with a driver on Nusa Penida, many opt for guided tours that combine it with other East Nusa Penida attractions, streamlining logistics. The best time to visit is during Bali's dry season (April-October) to avoid slippery conditions and enjoy calm seas for the boat trip to Nusa Penida. A small entrance fee (around 10,000-20,000 IDR) is typically charged at the viewpoint, with transport to and around Nusa Penida being the main cost (fast boat ~150,000-250,000 IDR one-way, scooter ~70,000 IDR/day, car with driver ~500,000-700,000 IDR/day). Allow 1-2 hours for the descent, beach enjoyment, and ascent; it's often part of a full-day island tour. Be cautious of strong currents if swimming and bring plenty of water and sun protection; early mornings offer fewer crowds and cooler temperatures for the climb.
