Broken Beach, also known as Pasih Uug, is one of the most interesting coastal attractions in Nusa Penida. Its natural rock formation creates a large circular opening in the cliffs, allowing seawater to flow into a beautiful natural pool.

Located on the west side of Nusa Penida, Broken Beach is often visited together with other nearby attractions such as Angel’s Billabong and Kelingking Beach. It can also be combined with other West Nusa Penida attractions depending on your preferred itinerary.

What Makes Broken Beach Special?

Broken Beach is famous for its large natural arch formed by the cliffs along the coastline.

From the viewpoint, you can see the blue sea passing through the opening in the rock and forming a large natural pool surrounded by cliffs. The scenery is especially beautiful on a clear day.

The area is mainly a viewpoint, so the best way to enjoy Broken Beach is to walk around the designated paths, enjoy the coastal scenery, and take photos from different viewpoints.

The Indonesian name Pasih Uug is often translated as “broken beach,” referring to the natural opening in the cliffs.
