There's a beautiful little wooden "boat" here that you can sit in for free to take photos, as well as a wooden platform that you can climb up for a fee to take photos from above.

All in all, this is an underrated viewpoint that I really enjoyed.

Second Viewpoint

Just 50 meters south of the first viewpoint, there's a second one where you can enjoy even more breathtaking scenery.

This spot is particularly great if you have a drone.

How to Get to Paluang Cliff

Paluang Cliff is located on the west side of Nusa Penida Island.

You can reach it by car or motorcycle, which will take about an hour from the main ferry terminal and accommodations in the north of the island.

If you're riding a motorcycle, please be careful as the roads can be very rugged and dangerous if you don't slow down in certain areas!
