Angel’s Billabong, Bali

Along the limestone cliffs of Nusa Penida's coastline, Angel's Billabong is a naturally occurring rock lagoon that has formed over centuries through tidal erosion. The pool appears to be a natural infinity pool that blends seamlessly into the ocean beyond when the tide is low because of the serene, glistening waters that reflect emerald and blue hues.

"Angel's" is derived from local legends that depict the location as a bathing place for celestial beings, while "Billabong" refers to a still water lagoon. It still has its unadulterated charm even though it is now one of Bali's most photographed destinations.

DANGER: Swimming prohibited - multiple fatalities (2023-2026). Strong currents/sudden waves even at low tide.

• Nearby Attractions: Located just a short walk from Broken Beach and a short drive from Kelingking Beach, ideal for a full-day Nusa Penida itinerary.
