Easy to find regional classic and a nice compliment to the right-hand setup at Yoyos. Nearly always a few people in the water from Tropicals.
Atmosphere
Stay in luxury right on the break at Tropicals Resort, or save a few hundred dollars a night and stay 5min away at Pantai Rantung.
General
Fun left-hander with consistent swell.
