Crystal Bay is a secluded cove with a 200-metre long stretch of dark sand located on the west coast of Nusa Penida Island. While fairly isolated, the bay is easily accessible through a network of well-developed roads. The beautiful beach is fringed by stately palms. The bay is known as one of the most famous snorkeling and diving sites on the island. Divers love the incredible visibility of up to 30 meters. The crystal clear waters are swimmable near the shore when the tides are calmer. There are a few local traditional food stalls right on the sand, and a few people rent out sunbeds with parasols for shade. Not far from the bay is the Coco Resort Penida, one of the few resorts on the western coast of the island.
