Devil’s Tears,Bali
Devil's Tears is a dramatic natural coastal attraction on Nusa Lembongan (southeast of mainland Bali). It is primarily significant for its powerful wave action and the blowholes that form when ocean swells crash into the jagged limestone cliffs, sending towering sprays of seawater and creating loud, thunderous sounds. Though not a religious site like many Balinese temples, Devil's Tears is an important part of the island’s coastal landscape and a popular spot for both visitors and local vendors.

Best Time to Visit
Dry season (April–October) is generally best for calm weather and clearer skies; visit in the late afternoon for sunset views. Avoid visiting at extremely high tide or during strong storms when wave action is most dangerous.
Weather Conditions
Tropical climate—hot and humid year-round. Dry season (Apr–Oct) has less rain and clearer skies; wet season (Nov–Mar) brings heavier showers and rougher seas.
Entry Fees & Permits
There is normally no formal entry fee; some visitors may encounter a small parking or local donation fee (typically a modest amount). The viewpoint is accessible throughout the day, but visibility and safety are best during daylight and around sunset.
Accessibility
Reachable by boat from Sanur to Nusa Lembongan (15–30 minute speedboat), then a short motorbike or car ride to the site from the island's main villages (Jungut Batu or Mushroom Bay). The cliffs are rocky and uneven—not wheelchair friendly; exercise caution on wet or windy days.
Recommended Duration
30–90 minutes (short visit of 30–45 minutes to watch the waves; 60–90 minutes if combining with sunset photography or exploring nearby attractions).
Clothing & Gear Tips
Sturdy, non-slip shoes; sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses); light rain jacket during wet season; waterproof cover for camera/phone; small backpack for water and valuables.
Local Food & Souvenirs
Try fresh seafood and local warung dishes in nearby Mushroom Bay or Jungut Batu. Souvenirs include sarongs, shell crafts, handmade jewelry and small trinkets sold by local vendors.
