Penida Attractions

 
Penida

The island of Penida, with the two smaller islands of Ceningan and Lembongan off its north-west coast, lies off the south-east coast of Bali. The islanders are mainly Muslims. Across the island from north-west to south-east runs a range of limestone hills rising to a height of 529 m (1736 ft).

None of the islands has a very productive economy. The permeable karstic terrain is unsuitable for agriculture, and the inhabitants earn a modest living mainly from fishing. Formerly it was a place of exile for prisoners sentenced in Klungkung.
