Past Ahangama town towards Soul & Surf is a nice stretch of 3-4 peaks known as The Cove or Gas Stations after the beautiful nearby beach and where you can fill up your moped.

Being further away from the town center this spot tends to be less crowded and you can sometimes have it all to yourself.

At a glance:

• Wave type: Reef break

• Wave direction: Lefts and rights

• Takeoff: Moderate

• Rides: 50 – 200 meters

• Level:  Intermediates

• Paddle out: Medium but easy

• Crowds: Quiet

This area of Ahangama is stunning and the beach is a must-visit. Expect beautiful turquoise waters, golden sand beaches, tall cliffs covered in palm trees, and nice quiet vibes. After you surf, Kaffi and Soul and Surf Cafe are great places to grab lunch or a beer and soak in some sunshine.

The waves here can be hit or miss. When it’s small it tends to be mushy and soft so it’s a good place for beginners/intermediates who want to get away from the crowds. But when some swell rolls in this spot can get really punchy with a fun lip and some big drops on the takeoff. 

When the conditions hit a sweet spot The Cove has a stunning peel and can sometimes barrel, it’s a beautiful site to see.
