Nusa Penida is part of the island of Bali, which is located east of Bali. Separated by the sea. With an area of about 200 square kilometers, it is much bigger than the better known Nusa Lembongan. However, tourism infrastructure is very limited here but growing rapidly.
Because it is limited by the sea and lack of natural fresh water makes Nusa Penida different from other places in Bali. Therefore a few plants can grow here or produced here.
And even some basic food ingredients come from the island of Bali via fast boats. Therefore, the items sold here have higher prices than in Bali. And banks and luxury goods are very rare to buy here.

Broken Beach ( Pasih Uug )
Broken beach maybe sound strange. Ana the Balinese call it ” Pasih Uug “. Pasih in Balinese means beach and Uug means broken. When viewed from above, indeed Pasih Uug looks like a land that is damaged (collapsed) because there is a large hole that gaping with a tunnel as access to enter the sea water into the hole.
The blue sea view is the main attraction we can enjoy in this place. The most favorite style of visitors who take pictures here is to make the tunnel / gate as the background.
The best time to visit Pasih Uug is in the morning. Why? Because during the morning the sea is high. and has great potential to see turtles and manta in the “hole”, pass in this beach.
Angel’s Bilabong
Angel’s Billabong, a name given by an Australian tourist when visiting this place for the first time. The reason for naming it is because according to him the pool is similar to an angel pool.
Because Being between 2 large rocks with a view that leads directly to the sea. And the clear water makes many local or foreign tourists, often soak in this place.
The depth of the pool is approximately only 1 meter. But what needs to be considered if you want to swim here is the sea level. If the sea level is the same as Angel’s Bilabong, then we recommend not swimming. because the waves are very large.
