The story of Broken Beach

Pasih Uug, meaning "broken beach", is a round bay enclosed by cliffs on Nusa Penida's west coast. The sea enters through a huge natural arch, forming a bridge of rock you can walk across.

Nearby is Angel's Billabong, a natural tidal pool of clear green water in the rocks. Big waves can suddenly break over it, so it is only safe at low tide when the sea is calm.

Best time to visit

Best season
