A tiny island between Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida, which is easily reached via the suspension bridge on foot or by bicycle/motorbike. There is a notable surf break off Nusa Ceningan which attracts some surfers away from the more crowded breaks on Nusa Lembongan. Otherwise the island offers some scenic roads and paths, and the westward views back over Nusa Lembongan to Bali are impressive. Viewing the sunset over Bali from the central Ceningan ridge is very much worth the effort. The estuarine channel between Lembongan and Ceningan is home to many seaweed farms. An increasing amount of people are choosing to stay on this small island and as of 2026 there are many options for places to stay and eat on the island
Nusa Ceningan is a small island located in Nusa Penida District, Klungkung Regency, Bali, Indonesia; between Nusa Lembongan to the north-west and Nusa Penida to the south-east and south-east. All three islands are south-east of mainland Bali and lie on the southern side of the Strait of Badung. Since none of the three islands have an airport, a boat or ferry is required to get to Nusa Ceningan.

This quirky yellow suspension bridge was built in 2017 after the previous bridge, made of wood, collapsed during a religious procession in 2016, killing at least eight people. You can walk or bike across the bridge to neighbouring Nusa Ceningan. The noise it makes can be quite scary, and contributes to what is an all-round Indiana Jones-type experience, but the bridge is safe. There are very rare occasions when the bridge is off limits to motorbikes due to maintenance. At such times boats offer transport across the channel for you and your bike.
Seaweed farming takes place in many parts of the island, but the most accessible farms are on the southern side of Lembongan Village. Most of the seaweed grown here is destined for the Asian cosmetics industry.
Front entrance through Klyf club/hotel, open to public, no entrance fee, drones forbidden. Right side entrance via small dirt path after the club and secret point huts, but before their parking. Small sign "Blue Lagoon Ceningan". Left side with hotel in construction. Similar to Devil's Tear but less tourists and free. Be careful on rocky path and stay away from the edge - there are no barriers!
This is a small clearing on Bukit Jungut Batu with nice views over Jungut Batu. It is on the main road headed south out of Jungut Batu so you won't even need to seek it out. You will find yourself here while exploring the island.
A small, white sand beach, located on the south coast. The roads from Lembongan village to the beach are signposted. There are a few resorts bordering the beach, the rest of the beach is surrounded by cliffs so walking through the resorts is the only way to get to the beach. Be very careful though about entering the water here as the rips can be fierce. Only the strongest swimmers should consider this and even then, avoid the eastern end of the beach.
Good views back to Bali, and of Mount Agung especially.
