THE WAVES
Kedungu Beach is the main surfing point. This is an EASY, mellow reef break with a left and a right-hander. On the smaller days, it is the ultimate surf spot for longboarders and beginners. Whilst on bigger swells, it holds head-high waves that can be fun for intermediate surfers and those who enjoy surfing alternative, midlength, or twinfin surfboards.
We also have Kedungu Playground - The best place for LEARNERS to catch their first wave! This spot is well protected from big waves and currents, which makes it the perfect wave for building confidence and having fun as a beginner!

THE FOOD
Refuelling is a big part of maintaining your energy and health whilst on a surf holiday. Luckily, yummy Indonesian food with a coconut on the side is on offer wherever you go.
Lining Kedungu beach are a few “warungs” (small local restaurants) serving DELICIOUS Indonesian cuisine, fresh coconuts and fruits, as well as a selection of local coffee. Supporting local businesses is all part of traveling responsibly and contributing to the local economy!
Life Between, Warung Kelapa, Front Cafe, and The Laundry Kedungu are some of our favorite laid-back LOCAL PLACES to hang out and fuel up both before and after surfing! With fresh local ingredients and friendly staff, these are the places you want to check out during your time in Kedungu!
