🥾 Going down to Kelingking Beach:
The popular spot is at the top (viewpoint)
But if you want to walk down to the beach, it takes 40–60 minutes
Very steep path, dirt and rocks with bamboo railings for support, but quite dangerous (must be fit and watch for slipping)
Going down is easy, coming up is very tough! 😅
The lower beach is less crowded because it’s hard to walk down, but the water is very clear and waves are strong (not suitable for swimming)

📸 Highlights not to miss:
Take photos at the dinosaur cliff (classic angle)
Take photos from the high viewpoint overlooking the beach below
The "Tree House" or "Paluang Cliff" spot (nearby)

🎒 What to prepare:
Drinking water
Hat / sunglasses / sunscreen
Hiking shoes (if going down to the beach)
Camera/phone with spare battery
Some cash (small shops don’t accept cards)
