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 ?

It's no cliché to say the Golden Days of the Krui area of South West Sumatra are over. Rapid unplanned development has slowly chipped away at the features which made the area quaint and charming. But if your willing to get off the beaten track and venture beyond the main drags of Krui, Tanjung Setia and Mandiri, Pesisir Barat still offers an amazing coastal adventure.

However if your looking for a full-on daytime shopping experience or a place to party 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.

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.
