Do you need reef booties? 👞
The main point is reef. To enter and leave can be tricky.
While you surf, it's not a big issue.
Despite main point isn't a beginner spot!
All other spots are sand bottom breaks.
Is it possible to get surf lesson? 🏄
Sadly there are lots of surfschools (who push students into each other) and Fishermans, Tuc Tuc Drivers, Farmers a.k.a Instructors without any skills who block the line up :(
We recommend Amigo surfschool. Ask for Johnson. He
and his crew are there for you!
When is the best swell saison? 🌊
July, August and September are the strongest months. But you never know....
Are there any surf shops? 🩳
There are two proper surf shops ( Dylans and Hideaway) which sell premium boards.
There are a plenty of small shops where you get wax, leash and other hardware.
They rent different boards from softies to shortys.
Some of them also repair your ding.
Is it possible to swim with Kids? 🏊
At the Southern end of the Bay there are hardly any waves breaking, so it’s pleasant to swim and take a bath with the
kids. It’s called the Baby-Bay
Any Advices for women? 👠
It is a largely Muslim area and people are conservative.
We recommend wearing modest dress when visiting nearby towns or public spaces.
(also for men!!)
No bikini and speedos on the streets!
Respect the local customs.
Be aware of the wildlife 🐘
There are wild elephants, crocodiles, leopards, buffalos, snakes...
Act with respect. Don't be a fool.
