Surf & travel South Sumatra

Surf South Sumatra, is the most complete quide to travel destinations and surf breaks on the South West Coast of Sumatra. Focusing on the seaside towns of Tanjung Setia and Krui. Travelers, surfers and tourists will enjoy exploring this 150 kilometers stretch of coastline nestled at the base of the world's largest World Heritage National Park.

What is Krui like ?

Looking for a full-on daytime shopping experience, a place to party or hang-out in funky cafés and restaurants? Then this is not really the destination for you: no air-conditioned shopping malls, no Mc Donalds, Starbucks, no fast food joints, night clubs or gourmet coffee shops.

Don't expect to find the usual hard sell tourist trap either. Rather, what you can expect to find is a memorable experience on the edge of the Indian Ocean.

The Surf

Their Golden Years as uncrowded surf destinations may be over but for now Krui and Tanjung Setia still retained their quaint utilitarian charm. However if you're planning to explore this amazing coastal region of Pesisir Barat it's advised that you do it soon. Crowds of surfers escaping Bali and a growing expat community seem destined to transform this once quiet rural Islamic community into another lost paradise.
