Bali newsBali4 min read
A 29-year-old Australian woman died after falling from a clifftop at Kelingking Beach in Bali. Police reported that the woman was found on the side of the Kelingking Beach cliff on a Saturday morning, local time. According to Nusa Penida Alert Unit co-ordinator Cakra Negara, she was seeking an independent path toward the cliff edge when she slipped and fell into the ravine. Emergency services responded, but she fell further before they could reach her. The woman sustained several fractures. Kelingking Beach, known for its panoramic views from a 180-meter-high coastal cliff, is a popular tourist destination. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade confirmed they are providing consular assistance to the woman's family, who have requested privacy. Queensland Premier David Crisafulli expressed his condolences. Swimming at Kelingking Beach is prohibited year-round due to dangerous currents, and the trek down to the beach is described as perilous. A project for a panoramic glass lift to the beach, started in 2024, was halted in October 2025 due to opposition.
