Nusa Penida, an island in Bali province, Indonesia
In before the tourists
Bali's persistent sunshine has to start somewhere. Why not ease into a day of swimming, surfing or snorkelling with a gentle sunrise on a quiet beach? Here on Nusa Penida—an island in Indonesia's Bali province that's many times smaller than the main island—you may even get a nice swath of seashore to yourself. Plus you'll be getting a sneak preview of the sunny day to come because Nusa Penida lies east of most of Bali's tourism hotspots.

Stretch out on the sand and watch the sun rise on Bali's smaller, quieter neighbour isle.
