The Beauty of Angel’s Billabong, A Stunning Natural Pool At Nusa Penida

Holiday Ayo - As cited from VisitBali, if you are dying to find a natural infinity pool, then you must come to Angel’s Billabong.
One of many hidden gems on Nusa Penida island.
Billabong is a naturally formed pool due to changes in the flow of the river, creating a pool that no longer flows by the river. Billabong comes from the Wiradjuri language, one of the ethnic Aboriginal tribes in Australia. Billa means river and Bong mean dead.
Overall, Billabong means a river that only flows after rain. Well, over time, the term Billabong is not only used in Australia anymore. One area in Bali too, precisely in the Nusa Penida area. Billabong in Nusa Penida means a dead river mouth. Formed because the river path changes direction and leaves the water trapped in a niche. Because the Billabong on Nusa Penida is very beautiful, so many people call this “Billabong” like the place of an angel.
Breath-taking scenery, turquoise water, and the tranquil atmosphere make visitors forget their stress and fatigue. Therefore, Angel’s Billabong is included in the list of attractions that must be visited when you are in Bali.
Water trapped in a niche between a large reef at Angel’s Billabong is considered safe enough to swim when the sea is receding. But avoid swimming at high tide since it is very dangerous. In fact, if you visit Angel’s Billabong in June, the waves can reach a height of 100 meters. Angel’s Billabong looks like a natural infinity pool where you can swim facing the Indian Ocean directly.
Angel’s Billabong is located adjacent to Broken Beach (Pasih Uug Beach). You have to pass steep and unpaved roads to reach Angel's Billabong. From the parking area, Angel’s Billabong can only be reached on foot. So prepare your comfortable footwear and stock enough drinks. Don't forget sunblock and sunglasses.
This natural beach remains in good condition all along here. So, there are no public toilets and parking spaces located near the beach.
This spot is the right location if you want to escape a while from the frenzied city and various notifications on social media.
