Crystal Bay and Gamat Bay are two of Nusa Penida’s most stunning coastal gems—each offering crystal-clear waters, dramatic underwater life, and a peaceful escape from the island’s busier viewpoints. Tucked into the island’s rugged western coastline, these bays are beloved by snorkelers, divers, and nature lovers looking to connect with the raw beauty of the ocean.
Crystal Bay is known for its calm, swimmable waters and golden sunsets. Its gentle waves and easy access make it ideal for relaxed snorkeling, where vibrant coral reefs and colorful fish flourish just meters from shore. Palm trees line the beach, and the setting sun dips perfectly behind the small rocky islet offshore—creating one of the island’s most iconic views.
Just around the corner, Gamat Bay feels more secluded and wild. Accessible by boat or a steep hike, it rewards those who make the journey with untouched coral gardens, rich marine biodiversity, and a more private experience. The waters here are especially popular with divers exploring deeper reef walls and drift currents teeming with life.
