TL;DR
Traveler reports indicate that since September 2026, Nusa Penida may charge separate fees for island entry and individual beaches or viewpoints. Bring a working cashless payment method, as you may be charged several times in one day, including at Crystal Bay.
According to a traveler report, from 1 September 2026 Nusa Penida has charged separate admission fees for each attraction, such as a beach or viewpoint. These payments are separate from the general tourist levy.
Expect multiple payments in a single day on Nusa Penida: one for entry and additional charges at separate sights. One traveler paid for three attractions, including Crystal Bay beach.
Bring a bank card or another cashless payment option for Nusa Penida entry fees: travelers report that on-site payments were cashless, so relying only on cash may be inconvenient.
Do not confuse the Bali Levy with local attraction charges: the general tourist levy and fees to access beaches or sights are separate expenses. Travelers report that local charges are common around Nusa Penida.
