The sliver of land that makes up Nusa Ceningan lies directly to the south of Nusa Lembongan in the main channel between Lembongan and far larger Nusa Penida. The northern channel (Ceningan Strait) runs almost dry at low tide while the southern channel (Toyo Pakeh Strait) is a roaring flow with swirling eddies and very fast currents.

The Ceningan Strait runs almost dry at low tide and is given over to seaweed cultivation at the western end. It's also this channel that has the yellow suspension bridge (motorbikes, bicycles and pedestrians only) that joins Lembongan to Ceningan. It's worth visiting this area just to cross the bridge as it provides a very scenic view.

Once you cross the bridge, if you turn left the road leads eventually to the boat landing from where you can get a boat to Nusa Penida. If you turn right from the bridge, as with the mirror road on Nusa Lembongan, you run along the coastline — Sea Breeze Warung is well placed for a rest stop.

Continue along this road to two excellent albeit isolated places to stay, both of which overlook the Secret Point surf break. Just before you reach Secret Point, there is a turn to the left, follow that to reach the Jumping Place.

Orientation
There are no ATMs, banks nor money changing facilities on Nusa Ceningan. Nor are there medical facilities or internet cafes. For all of these you will need to head to Nusa Lembongan or Bali.

Nusa Ceningan is reached by a yellow suspension bridge from nearby Nusa Lembongan. You can also charter boats from here to Nusa Penida. For travel to Bali, you'll need to go to Nusa Lembongan first.

(Remotely sensible, non-ranting comments are much appreciated. If you don't like somewhere, please explain why -- it's all far more helpful for others that way.) Serial ranters, loons and spammers will be banished!
And please, no self-promotional URLs -- that's what your signature field is for.

So how does it rate?

On a scale of one to ten (with 10 being outstanding and 1 being bloody awful) how would you rate here under the following criteria?

Note: Ratings are OUT OF TEN -- not five!
Please note comments are edited for clarity, typos and style before they appear. Ranting tirades, spam and anything else that really belongs somewhere else won't make the cut. If you want to rant, go to Thorntree.
