Angel's Billabong next to Broken Beach
Angel's Billabong is a separate coastal-pool formation a few minutes from Broken Beach by road. It is a different place with its own access and water rules.
What it is
Angel's Billabong is a natural rock pool fed by the sea, sitting on the same western headland as Broken Beach. Unlike the arch viewpoint, the pool is a water feature where people sometimes stand at the edge.
How it differs from Broken Beach
Broken Beach is a cliff-top viewpoint over a cove; Angel's Billabong is a sea pool at a lower level. The two are close but their access and safety rules are not the same.
Safety rules
The pool is exposed to swell and can be dangerous when waves wash over the rocks. Low tide or a regional model reading does not make entry safe; check local conditions and never go in during rough seas.
- Visit at calmer sea states, never during big swell.
- Keep clear of the open-ocean side of the pool.
- Confirm access and rules on the day.
