Angel’s Billabong,Bali
Angel's Billabong is a natural tidal rock pool formed in the limestone cliffs of Nusa Penida, Bali. It is primarily significant as a striking natural formation and a popular coastal viewpoint that showcases the island's rugged geology, clear ocean water and marine ecosystems. The site sits close to other notable geological features (Broken Beach / Pasih Uug) and contributes to Nusa Penida's reputation as a must-visit nature destination outside mainland Bali.



Places to visit
- The natural rock pool (Angel's Billabong) — a tide-dependent, crystal-clear pool suitable for calm-water wading and photos
- Broken Beach (Pasih Uug) — the nearby dramatic arch and cove, often combined in the same visit
- Cliff-top viewpoints offering panoramic views of the Indian Ocean
- Coastal walks and small tide pools along the limestone shore
Unique Aspects
- Limestone formation shaped by waves and erosion
- Emerald to turquoise water that clears at low tide, creating natural 'infinity pool' photo opportunities
- Tide-dependent safety — water can be placid at low tide and extremely dangerous at high tide
- Dramatic cliffs and narrow rock paths ideal for landscape photography
Things to do
- Photography — sunrise/early morning and late afternoon light are best
- Wading or swimming in the pool (only when calm and safe; typically at low tide)
- Short cliff walks and viewpoints
- Combine with a half-day tour of Nusa Penida (Broken Beach, Kelingking, Crystal Bay)
- Snorkeling/diving trips launched elsewhere on the island (not directly from the Billabong)
Best Time to Visit
Dry season (April–October) for calmer seas and more predictable weather; visit early morning to avoid crowds and to see the pool at its calmest.
Weather Conditions
Tropical maritime climate: hot and humid year-round. Wet season (November–March) brings heavier rains and rough seas; visibility and safety at the Billabong worsen during monsoon months.
Entry Fees & Permits
There is usually a small entrance fee (varies — approx. IDR 10,000–30,000) plus possible parking charges; sites are open during daylight hours (typically around 07:00–18:00) but exact times and fees can change, so check locally before travel.
Accessibility
Located on Nusa Penida: reach the island by fast boat from Sanur (Bali mainland) or Padangbai. From Nusa Penida's main harbors, it's a 30–60 minute drive depending on starting point and road conditions. The final approach involves uneven rock paths and steps; not wheelchair accessible and requires careful footing. Avoid visiting alone at high tide—cliffs and waves can be hazardous.
Recommended Duration
Plan 30–90 minutes at the site (longer if combining nearby attractions).
Clothing & Gear Tips
Sturdy closed-toe or water shoes (rocky surfaces), swimwear, hat, sunglasses, reef-safe sunscreen, plenty of water, and a lightweight rain jacket in wet season. Bring a small first-aid kit for scrapes.
Local Food & Souvenirs
Small warungs near parking areas sell snacks, fresh coconut water and basic meals. Look for handicrafts, woven goods, and locally made souvenirs in nearby villages or at Nusa Penida markets. Support sustainable sellers and avoid single-use plastics.
