One of the places I visited that has astounding views would be Glinking Beach, found in Nusa Penida Valley, Indonesia. I visited this place last year during late summer, so around July I would say. I visited this place because it’s well known for its beautiful views and a very well protected beach. From above you can see as the line of the sky and the sea meets. You can also see the beautiful beach below that is also next to a cave. The waves at the beach are particularly special. They have current that is quite dangerous if you swim in it, but from above it looks really nice since it caves inwards. Other than that, watching the sunset from the upper side of the cliff is so beautiful, since we can watch as the sky turns into different colors. Either orange, pink, yellow, the hues change over time and it’s very calming to just unwind and sit there. I believe that these views are just so beautiful because it’s truly nature’s beauty. It’s an area that isn’t very overpopulated with tourists since the beach is quite hard to get to, since you have to hike to get down to the beach. It’s still a very well preserved area. So that’s why I would say it’s very beautiful.

One of the places I visited that has astounding views is Glinking Beach, located in Nusa Penida Valley, Indonesia. I visited this place last year during late summer, around July. I chose to visit this place because it's well known for its beautiful views and a very well-protected beach. From above, you can see where the line of the sky and the sea meets. You can also see the beautiful beach below, which is next to a cave. The waves at the beach are particularly special. They have a current that is quite dangerous if you swim in it, but from above, it looks really nice since it caves inwards. Additionally, watching the sunset from the upper side of the cliff is breathtaking, as we can see the sky turn into different colors. The hues change over time, from orange to pink to yellow, and it's very calming to just unwind and sit there. I believe these views are so beautiful because they showcase nature's beauty. It's an area that isn't very overpopulated with tourists since the beach is quite hard to access; you have to hike down to reach it. It's still a very well-preserved area, which is why I would say it's very beautiful.
