Angel’s Billabong Nusa Penida is an incredible natural infinity pool made up of crystal clear water flanked by tall jagged cliffs. Along with the neighboring Broken Beach, it’s one of the most popular places to visit on a West Nusa Penida day trip.
Although it attracts a huge number of tourists every day, it’s definitely worth seeing at least once.
In this guide, I’ll share everything you need to know about visiting Angel’s Billabong in Nusa Penida, including how to get there, how to skip the crowds, entrance fees, and more.

How to get to Angel’s Billabong Nusa Penida?
To get to Angel’s Billabong, you first need to take a boat from Sanur in Bali to Nusa Penida. You can find lots of boat operators at the Sanur harbor or simply book your ticket online to avoid waiting in line and guarantee a spot on the boat.
This particular boat operator also offers shuttle service from Kuta, Seminyak, Nusa Dua, Sanur, and Ubud to the harbor but only departs at 8.45 a.m. If you prefer a more flexible schedule, I recommend this other boat operator instead.
Once you arrive on Nusa Penida, you can hire a private taxi with driver or if you’re on a budget, join a guided tour or rent a motorbike for about IDR 70k (US$ 4.80).
Note: The roads leading to Angel’s Billabong Nusa Penida and pretty much everywhere else on the island are in bad condition and full of potholes.
While the island is much smaller than Bali, driving along the winding roads makes the travel hours between each attraction much longer. This is why I highly recommend getting a taxi with a driver and only renting a motorbike if you’re confident enough to ride on these roads.
What to Expect at Angel’s Billabong?
As you get to the parking lot, you’ll find several small warungs (local restaurants) where you can have lunch or a snack. From there, follow signs down the stairs and in a few minutes, you’ll arrive at Angel’s Billabong infinity pool.
The rocks around this area are quite sharp, so it’s a good idea to wear closed-toe shoes instead of sandals.
It’s definitely one of the most Instagrammable locations in Bali and one of those places on earth that almost feel surreal. The natural infinity pool is enclosed on both sides by tall jagged cliffs and fed by seawater.
Can I swim at Angel’s Billabong?
Swimming at Angel’s Billabong is only allowed during low tide but you should still be careful and avoid getting too close to the edge. Unfortunately, there have been a few accidents in the past. People have been sucked into the ocean by the strong waves that sometimes appear without warning.
During high tide, the strong waves crash with extreme force into the pool and I can almost guarantee that you’ll be soaked from the water mists even if you’re standing on the top of the cliffs.
This is why I highly recommend checking the tide level before your visit if you plan on swimming there.
