Surf in Beach Break | Kabalana

Overview: Kabalana Beach Break

Kabalana Beach is known for its beginner-friendly beach break, featuring long, soft waves and an abundance of surf schools for first-timers. It's the perfect place to practice in the whitewater before taking on the more challenging lefts and rights along the beach. For more experienced surfers, the main point offers steep and powerful waves, while the south side has a rock area with strong rip currents—so caution is advised.
