About Broken Beach Pasih Uug Nusa Penida

Written by the Bali Saku Raba local team · Last verified September 2026

Broken Beach, locally known as Pasih Uug, is a cliff-top coastal viewpoint on the west side of Nusa Penida, Klungkung Regency, Bali. Its defining feature is a large, near-circular limestone cove connected to the open sea through a natural arch. This is not a conventional swimming beach: visitors come to look down on the arch, the enclosed water, waves, and surrounding cliffs from established ground above.

Where is Broken Beach?

The map pin for this page is set to -8.7329000, 115.4508806, the coordinate recorded for the Broken Beach/OpenStreetMap feature. It identifies the landform, not a promise of a particular parking space, entrance gate, or photography position. Official Klungkung tourism information places Pasih Uug in the Bunga Mekar area of Nusa Penida, close to Angel’s Billabong and other west-coast attractions.

Understanding Pasih Uug

Broken Beach is a natural limestone coastal formation. From the rim, the cove can appear like a round natural pool, but it is open to the ocean through the arch and exposed to changing sea conditions. The form is part of Nusa Penida’s cliff-and-karst coast; it is not a built bridge, pool, or enclosed lagoon. Light, tide, swell, cloud, and season affect water colour and the appearance of the arch, so a photograph from another visit is not a guarantee of the same scene.

Safety: view from above, do not treat it as a swimming site

There is no established visitor route down into the cove. Do not climb the cliff, cross a barrier, follow unofficial tracks, or attempt to reach the water. Keep away from overhangs and eroded edges, which can be uneven or unstable. Ocean conditions can change quickly and the lower coast is exposed to swell and wave impact. Follow local signs, staff instructions, and temporary closures; if weather makes surfaces slippery or visibility poor, postpone the visit.

Remain on stable, established clifftop paths and give other visitors space to pass.

Visiting with Angel’s Billabong

Broken Beach and Angel’s Billabong are nearby and are commonly paired, but they are different environments. Broken Beach is a clifftop geological viewpoint; Angel’s Billabong has its own tidal-pool and wave hazards. Plan and assess each stop separately, rather than assuming that conditions at one site apply to the other. Allow adequate daylight for the walk, viewing time, and return journey.

To reach this area, travel to Nusa Penida by boat and continue overland to Bunga Mekar. Operator schedules, sea conditions, traffic, road works, and the final approach can change, so confirm transport and routing shortly before travel. The Klungkung Government has identified Broken Beach/Pasih Uug as one of the island’s priority visitor destinations; nevertheless, on-site access conditions always take priority over general travel advice.

Fees, timing, and preparation

Do not rely on old blog prices or claims of permanent free entry. Klungkung announced a tourism-retribution regime effective 1 September 2026 under Regional Regulation No. 4 of 2026. Its official notice lists Rp25,000 for an adult international visitor and Rp15,000 for a child, and separately lists the same rates for visits to a designated tourist attraction for domestic and international visitors. Confirm the current collection point, ticket scope, exemptions, and any local parking charge before or on arrival.

For a more comfortable clifftop walk, consider visiting early in the day before heat builds. Bring drinking water, sun protection, a hat, secure footwear, and a charged phone with offline maps. Facilities, shade, food stalls, and payment options should not be assumed. Take rubbish away, do not remove natural material, respect residents and staff, and do not fly a drone without checking local permission and restrictions.

I’m happy to leave this review because I know Made personally, and I can honestly say he’s one of the best guides and kindest people you’ll meet in Bali. What makes him special isn’t just his deep knowledge of the island – though that alone is impressive. He knows all the hidden gems, the best times to visit popular spots, and always has interesting stories behind every temple and rice terrace. But more than that, he genuinely cares about the people he’s with. He doesn't treat it like a job; he treats it like he's showing his own friends around his home. I’ve seen how he goes out of his way to make sure everything runs smoothly, how he checks in on comfort and safety, and how he handles any little issue with a smile. He's reliable, patient, and incredibly warm-hearted. If you're looking for someone who will not only show you beautiful places but also make you feel welcome and looked after – Made is your guy. I truly hope this comment helps him, because he absolutely deserves more recognition. Thank you, Made, for being the amazing person and guide that you are! 🙏🇮🇩

The Best Tour Guide in Bali! We honestly couldn’t recommend Made enough! From start to finish, he was absolutely fantastic and went above and beyond to make our trip around Bali so special. Before we even arrived, Made’s communication was amazing. He helped us plan our whole trip, gave us fantastic advice and recommendations, and really took the time to understand what we wanted to see and do. He made everything so easy and stress-free for us. Throughout our trip, Made looked after us incredibly well. He picked us up, took us to all the different places we wanted to visit, and even showed us some amazing places we probably wouldn’t have found ourselves. His knowledge of Bali is incredible — he knew so much about every place we visited and was always happy to explain things and answer our questions. What really stood out to us was how kind, caring and genuine Made was. He didn’t just feel like a tour guide; we genuinely felt like we were being looked after by a friend. He always made sure we were comfortable, safe and enjoying ourselves, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Everyone in his team was also absolutely fantastic. They were friendly, professional and made us feel so welcome throughout our trip. Made played such a huge part in making our Bali holiday so memorable. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, knowledgeable, kind and genuinely cares about giving you the best possible experience, we would 100% recommend him. Thank you so much, Made, for looking after us and helping us have such an amazing time in Bali. We’ll definitely be recommending you to anyone visiting Bali — and hopefully we’ll see you again one day! ❤️🇮🇩

Очень советую Мади в качестве гида. Он организовывал нам тур на Нусу Пениду, у него много друзей, который организуют вам все что угодно за очень выгодную плату. Мади очень дружелюбный и улыбчивый человек, он знает русский язык, поэтому с ним можно разговаривать и узнавать многое про Бали. Я его всем советую в первую очередь, он может показать вам весь остров и организовать туры на другие соседние острова и вулканы. Спасибо ему большое, нам очень понравилось с ним проводить время. Советуем вам выбрать именно его за его труд, старания и доброжелательность Мади, спасибо тебе ❤️

Путешествие на Бали – это всегда погружение в мир красоты, духовности и уникальной культуры. Но по-настоящему раскрыть душу острова, прочувствовать его магию можно только с опытным и увлеченным проводником. Нам в этом невероятно повезло – мы встретили Маде! Маде – не просто гид, он настоящий хранитель традиций и наследник балийской культуры. Он открыл нам не только знаменитые достопримечательности, но и тайные уголки острова, поделился своими знаниями о древних обычаях и верованиях. Благодаря Маде мы смогли: * Почувствовать энергетику священных храмов: Маде рассказал нам об истории и значении каждого храма, помог правильно провести церемонии и почувствовать связь с духовным миром Бали. * Погрузиться в атмосферу балийской деревни: мы побывали в гостях у местных жителей, познакомились с их бытом, попробовали традиционные блюда и даже приняли участие в мастер-классах по ремеслам. * Насладиться природными красотами: Маде показал нам живописные рисовые террасы, вулканы, водопады и секретные пляжи, где можно было отдохнуть от шума и суеты. Но самое главное – Маде подарил нам незабываемые эмоции, искреннее общение и теплоту. Он отвечал на все наши вопросы, учитывал наши пожелания и создавал атмосферу настоящего приключения. Мы безгранично благодарны Маде за это удивительное путешествие! Он помог нам открыть для себя настоящий Бали – остров Богов, красоты и гармонии. Если вы планируете поездку на Бали, обязательно обратитесь к Маде – он сделает ваше путешествие незабываемым!

Очень рекомендую этого русскоговорящего балийца! 👍 Экскурсии с ним - это просто супер! 🤩 Он не только рассказывает интересные факты об острове и показывает самые красивые места, но и делится местными фишками, о которых не прочитаешь в путеводителях. 😉 Он очень внимательный и отзывчивый, с ним легко и приятно общаться.

Маде добряк!) очень внимательный, и профессиональный гид! Уже много лет дружим с ним! Провез по всем уголкам прекрасного Бали! Хорошо говорит на русском и английском языках! Аккуратно водит машину! Очень адекватные цены на экскурсии!! Знает все вкусные и красивые места! Поможет со всеми вопросами на Бали, такие как аренда скутера, или аренда жилья! Встретит и проводит в аэропорт, если вы с ребенком то у Маде прекрасные дочки которые с удовольствием побуду няней!)) Всем рекомендую это агенство!!
