What to see

Angel's Billabong & Broken Beach

๐ŸŒŠAngel's Billabong & Broken Beach

A natural pool of emerald water in the rocks above the ocean, and five minutes away Broken Beach: a cove the sea enters through a huge stone arch.

Price About 10,000โ€“20,000 Rp for entry and parking

Insider tip Only swim in the pool at low tide with a calm sea: waves can wash over the rocks without warning, and tourists have died here. Arrive before 9 am, ahead of the tour cars.

๐Ÿ Crystal Bay

A clear-water bay with coral right off the shore of Nusa Penida: parrotfish, starfish and sometimes turtles. In the evening, one of the island's best sunsets.

Price Beach free, parking about 5,000โ€“10,000 Rp, mask 30,000โ€“50,000 Rp

Insider tip Snorkel in the morning at low tide; currents pick up later, so don't swim beyond the rock in the middle of the bay. You can rent a mask right on the beach.

๐ŸŒ‰Nusa Lembongan: Devil's Tear

A quiet neighbouring island 30โ€“40 minutes by fast boat from Sanur. Waves crash into the rocks at Devil's Tear, and nearby are the yellow suspension bridge to Nusa Ceningan and the Blue Lagoon.

Price Boat from Sanur about 200,000โ€“300,000 Rp one way; Devil's Tear is free

Insider tip Get around by scooter or electric tuk-tuk โ€” the island is small. Keep back from the rocks: waves sweep the ledge without warning. It's calmer and cheaper than Penida.
