The mystery and historical of Broken Beach Nusa Penida (pasih uug in Balinese) is named after a cliff that has a giant whole in its center and lets the water run through so it looks like a giant natural pool. Once upon a time there was a village on this area. One day, a cow, not knowing from where, passed by this village, which was eventually slaughtered by the local people of this hamlet. Soon after that, two kids came looking for the cow. Stupidly, none of those residents admit that they just slaughtered the cow, not even saying that they saw it. Later, the kids put a stick into the ground and said “if it was none of you who got the cow gone, pull this stick up”. Magically, it was stuck and none of the villagers could pull it away. Alas, once the kids pull the stick, the ground collapsed and the whole town was washed away by the water from the ocean. So it becomes the broken beach. There are several tragedies such as fall down to the water, snorkeling boat drowned & scooter jumped from the top and fall down too. If you visit here, please refrain from using vulgar language, urinating indiscriminately, and always respect local culture and please avoid littering as well.
