Nyang Nyang Beach

This guide to Nyang Nyang Beach in Bali begins with the climb: five hundred broken concrete steps cut into a jungle cliff on Bali's Bukit Peninsula, with no railing and no clear payoff until you reach the bottom. You'll hear from local fishermen who knew this stretch long before any tourist found it, and about a rusted shipwreck now half buried near the far end of the sand. There's still no lifeguard and no flag here, just the tide to warn you.
