About Crystal Bay
Crystal Bay is a curved beach on the west side of Nusa Penida facing Nusa Ceningan, with clear water and coral close to shore. It is a common snorkelling stop and a departure point for dive boats; currents outside the bay are strong and the site is better known among divers for seasonal mola mola sightings.
