Scenic Rock Pool: Angel's Billabong
Today's post brings everyone to the Island of Gods, Bali. Specifically, to a smaller island a stone's throw away: Nusa Penida. Nusa Penida is a hot favourite as one of the many island destinations from Bali, and has many breathtaking beaches and sites to see. One of its most famous attractions is Angel's Billabong, on the west coast of the island.
A 'billabong' is a part of a river that forms a stagnant pool. This billabong is named 'Angel's Billabong' as local legend has it that an angel once came to bathe in it. You may think of this as a natural infinity pool that washes out into the sea, and is intimidating yet super beautiful at the same time. It is possible to swim in the rock pool here, but be extra careful as the rock formations are steep and sharp, and the waves can be unforgiving during high tide - accidents have happened before. If you're not a daredevil, admiring the formations and scenery are enough! Don't forget to take lots of Instagrammable pictures.
Tips for visiting Angel's Billabong:
1. Go as early as you can to avoid crowds.
2. Swim at your own risk, and only during low tide.
3. Wear comfortable shoes and bring lots of water and sunscreen.
4. Hire a private driver if you are not confident using a bike, as the roads are quite underdeveloped.
Address: In the village of Sakti, Banjar Sumpang, Nusa Penida Island, Kelungkung Regency, Bali, Indonesia.

Angel Billabong is probably my favorite spot among the points of attraction in Nusa Penida. I love the contrast of the tree snags against the vibrant blue ocean. If only I could dive into the water or stay seated here longer~
Angel''s Billabong is a natural infinity pool formed by the erosion of a very beautiful wave, but the road is very bad, because the number of tourist cars is very large, if you ride a motorcycle in the past, you must be careful of vehicles, because sometimes vehicles will drive very fast, the road is very narrow, The last few kilometers feel like a roller coaster, the journey is very difficult.
In a net red field on the island of Benida, a crack on the rock said that the sea will connect when the tide is high, and it will be low tide time. There is sea water like the crack, and the waves will not stop rushing. People can go down to the crack, but I didn't go down if it was too slippery.
It’s a shame that tourists cannot go down to the beach anymore, but the view was still spectacular. The spot was fairly crowded but worth a visit.
Angel's Billabong is a large scenic rock pool, located on a cliff shelf on the southwest coast of Nusa Penida. It has a natural infinity pool, but don't swim at here because so danger.
We are sure that the first person to name this place was very impressed with the beauty of this pool and thought this place was perfect for the angels to bathe in.
Beautiful rock formations and view. Swim at your own risk as it looks quite dangerous to enter.
