Nusa Penida is the largest of three islands of the south eastern coast of Bali, the others being Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan. The island is some 200 square kilometres, it is much larger than the better known Nusa Lembongan. However, tourist infrastructure is very limited here. It is, though, an island of stunning natural rugged beauty, and tourism-related development plans have been rumoured and mooted to no effect for many years now. Nusa Penida covers a wide area of diving locations, including Penida Bay, Batu Lumbung (Manta Point), Batu Meling, Batu Abah, Toya Pakeh and Malibu Point. Nusa Penida, and neighbouring Lembongan and Ceningan islands, is an island-wide bird sanctuary.The islands’ communities have used traditional Balinese village regulations to create the sanctuary.
