I assume that your data is discrete and you cannot use differentiation.
Also note that there is also local minima and maxima.
So,
The position of (local) maximal points are
maxpositions=Flatten[Position[Ordering[#, -1] & /@ Partition[Last /@ 
data, 3, 1], {2}]] + 1
that in your case are the positions
{4, 9, 17, 34, 68}
The values of data of these points are given by
data[[maxpositions]]
and these are

{{0.53, 1.3059}, {0.58, 1.31146}, {0.66, 1.32175}, {0.83, 1.81008}, {1.71, \
1.72145}}

Similarly for (local) minima points
minpositions=Flatten[Position[Ordering[#, 1] & /@ Partition[Last /@ 
data, 3, 1], {2}]] + 1
that in your case are the positions
{2, 5, 10, 18, 62}
The values of data of these points are given by
data[[minpositions]]
and these are
{{0.51, 1.30244}, {0.54, 1.30544}, {0.59, 1.31105}, {0.67, 1.32041}, {
  1.11, 0.0324386}}
