Climb down a challenging cliffside and get rewarded with a secluded beach paradise. If you get lucky, you will have the whole beach for yourself in the early morning.Â
Kelingking Beach, located on Nusa Penida in Indonesia, is famous for its T-Rex-shaped rock formation and soft, white sand, ideal for adventure seekers and nature lovers alike. You can take the famous T-Rex photo by drone only.
The Perfect Photo
For the iconic shot of the T-Rex rock formation, head to the viewpoint after the hike down. Aim for sunrise or sunset to capture the dramatic cliffs bathed in warm light. A drone will be needed to capture the iconic T-Rex-Cliff (be sure to check local drone regulations). A wide-angle lens is recommended to capture the cave down at the beach.
