Angel's Billabong

This guide to Angel's Billabong in Bali starts with the pool itself: a turquoise basin carved into volcanic cliffs by the ocean over centuries, calm enough at low tide to look like it was built on purpose. It traces where the name comes from, a bathing place locals called fit for angels, and follows what changes when the tide turns and the sea stops behaving. Stay back from the edge, above the pool, and watch the color shift as the tide turns.
