Suwehan Beach, Remote beach in Nusa Penida, Indonesia
Suwehan Beach is a sandy shore in Nusa Penida framed by steep cliffs, with a prominent rock formation rising from the center of the bay. The water remains clear and shallow near the beach, while the enclosed cove limits the overall size of the accessible sand.
The beach remained inaccessible to visitors for years until a concrete staircase was built in 2023. This recent infrastructure project opened the site to the public for the first time.
Local warung operators run small food stalls perched on the clifftop, serving basic meals and drinks to those visiting the shore.
The beach floods completely during high tide, so morning visits work best to see the full shoreline. Bring water and sun protection, as shade is minimal on this exposed stretch.
The natural rock formations create a secluded cove that can only hold a small number of visitors at any moment. This natural limit keeps the place far less crowded than other bays nearby.

Bali presents a varied landscape where nature and spirituality intertwine. The island features dramatic coastal cliffs and quieter coves alongside waterfalls that flow through tropical vegetation. Sekumpul Falls and Kanto Lampo draw visitors with their cascading waters, while Tukad Cepung and Tibumana offer swimming holes nestled in rocky gorges. Rice terraces at Jatiluwih display generations of farming knowledge, their green curves following the hillsides. Temples are woven throughout the landscape rather than concentrated in towns. Pura Luhur Lempuyang sits high on a mountainside, Gunung Kawi is carved into a cliff face, and Tirta Gangga water palace blends architecture with fountain gardens. Each reflects how Balinese people have built their spiritual life into the natural world. Ancient structures like Ujung Palace and Batu Bolong Temple show how style and function developed over time. Beaches vary greatly across the island. Some like Bingin and Melasti draw surfers and sun-seekers, while others like Green Bowl Beach and Diamond Beach remain more secluded. The Nusa Penida islands offer dramatic rocky shorelines at Kelingking and Atuh, plus natural pools like Angel's Billabong. Thermal springs at Banjar and walking paths through valleys like Campuhan show that exploration goes beyond beaches and temples.
