Any tips for what to do in the area?

The main points of interest of Nusa Penida are as follows: Kelingking Beach: That's the one that looks like t-rex! This is THE spot to take photos of the green 'dinosaur head' swallowing blue waves. You can walk down the "spine" of the dinosaur to get to the beach. But do be careful as the path is not in great condition. Crystal Bay: The bay has some of the clearest waters and the healthiest corals and fish life around. This makes it the perfect spot for snorkelling. Broken Beach: Another marvel of nature, this pool of water is surrounded by limestone cliffs, except for one lifted wall where freshwater enters. Angel Billabong: This is a natural infinity pool! These very impressive clear waters rival that of any pool. Wall Beach/Wall Point: Another clear water beach that is great for snorkelling with fishes and coral life. Gamat Bay: A more wild and secluded version of Crystal Bay; it takes a bit of time to walk down an overgrown path to get to the beach, but it's totally worth it. Great for snorkelling as well! Manta Point: This the place to see the majestic manta rays!
