Broken Beach, Natural arch and cove in Nusa Penida, Indonesia
The circular rock formation creates a natural bridge over turquoise waters, forming a sheltered cove with steep limestone cliffs reaching 200 feet high.
The continuous erosion of limestone cliffs by ocean waves over thousands of years shaped this natural formation on the southwestern coast of Nusa Penida.
Local Balinese residents named this location Pasih Uwug, which translates to broken sea in their language, reflecting their connection to natural landmarks.
Visitors need to take a 45-minute boat ride from Sanur Harbor to Nusa Penida, followed by a 45-minute drive on partially unpaved roads.
The natural arch allows ocean water to flow beneath it, creating a circular pattern of currents visible from the surrounding observation points.
