Little Finger-Shaped Cliff or T-Rex?
Kelingking Beach is located in Bunga Mekar, Nusa Penida, Klungkung. It is
named so, because on the beach there is a rock that looks like a little
finger. However, there are also those who say that the Paluang cliff on
Kelingking Beach resembles the neck of a Tyrannosaurus or T-Rex.
That's the Paluang Cliff which is the hallmark of Kelingking Beach. The name
Paluang was given after the name of a nearby temple. To see this cliff from
the best point, tourists need to go down wooden stairs which are quite
energy-consuming.
