Temeling Beach is located on the southern point of Penida Island. From the main town Toya Pakeh in Nusa Penida, it’s approximately a 50-60 minutes drive to Temeling Beach. Getting to Tembeling beach and forest you have to go to Penida Island, you can catch a fast boat from several ports on Bali mainland.
temeling beach sits at the bottom of a long, secluded ravine in the jungle.
From the parking area, it’s a steep descent with no car access, so you can either hike down on foot or take a motorbike on the narrow rocky trail.
The locals are friendly and they can also take you down and back up on their motorbikes for 50k IDR (~$3) roundtrip, per person.
I would not at all recommend doing a motorbike on this trail unless you’re feeling crazy. It’s extremely steep and rocky, with very little room for error. Hopefully a better trail will be made soon!
In the meantime, the only alternative is to hike down, and this can take up to an hour each way. It’s a very steep hike on the way back, so bring plenty of water!
Tembeling Natural Pool & Waterfall
As you hike through the jungle, you’ll pass some old Balinese shrines and a greenish natural pool along the way.
Keep going, because there’s a much better pool and small waterfall at the bottom with crystal clear water!
The Temeling natural pool sits on the edge of the ocean and almost looks like an infinity pool.
Temeling Beach & Cave
At the bottom of the ravine, there’s a nice white sand beach at Temeling with some swing sets to chill on.
If you walk 25 meters to the west there’s also a big sea cave with hundreds of rock cairns and an epic view of the white cliffs above you.
If you have a drone, this is a great place to launch from and get some amazing shots of the cliffs!
