Awaiting discovery or happily ignored?
That's up for interpretation.
Rugged & raw. Simple with an uncanny charm...Welcome to the tiny island of Nusa Penida.
The strong seas and swell of the Badung Strait make for a hairy pass to the island.
A very limited tourist infrastructure detour the majority of vacationers.
We were delighted to stumble upon this gem.

The fluorescent coral reef at Crystal Bay is sublime & exuding with life. The cool water made it difficult to stay submerged for as long as I would have liked. The sun faded into crimson yellows; washing-away my disappointment of having to come up for air, as I retreated to the comfort of the warm sand.
