Nusa Penida has tons of mesmerizing tourist destinations, one of which is Angel’s Billabong.
Located near Kelingking Beach and Broken Beach, this attraction allows you to admire the beach in a
different way, making it a suitable place for both avid swimmers and non-swimmers.
Most Bali beaches boast white sand and blue water but this place is different. It is more like an infinite
pool between two cliffs. The pool is directly connected to the Indian Ocean, which is the reason to its
high tide and unpredictable water conditions.
What to Expect
Angel’s Billabong isn’t the right destination if you expect a sandy beach and kid’s friendly coastline.
In fact, this tourist destination offers a natural inlet between two cliffs with bright green water. You can
enjoy the crystal-clear emerald water and waves from the rocky cliff.
Once you get there, you can admire the beauty of the beach while enjoying the sound of wave
crashing the coastline. If you are lucky, you can enjoy a relaxing swim in this natural pool. After
spending time in this spot, it only takes you about 5 minutes to reach Broken Beach for another
attraction.
Is It Possible to Swim at Angel’s Billabong?
The answer can be yes and no depending on the natural condition, especially the tides. Swimming is
allowed when the tide is low. However, the tides can get higher unpredictably and the wave can go
crazy so you need to be very careful when swimming in this natural pool.
During high tide, the inlet is closed and all you can do is just sitting at the cliff. If you do not want to
miss the sensation of dipping in this pool, the best time to visit this place is before 9 AM. Be sure to
check with your guide for the tide schedules before visiting.
If you plan to swim, it is highly recommended to wear water shoes. The sharp rocks around the pool
can easily cut your skin, so take extra caution.
How to Get to Angel’s Billabong
This tourist destination is an hour away from the main port in Nusa Penida. The easiest way to get to
the location is to take the boat from Sanur, Bali. Once you arrive, you can rent a scooter or car
depending on your needs.
If you are good enough at riding a scooter, you can rent one for flexibility. The roads to Angel’s
Billabong can be dangerous, so you have to be careful. But if you want to sit back and relax or simply
you are not a good driver, local drivers are happy to take you there.
