If you’re a beginner, Kabalana Beach Break is one of the best places to learn in the town. There are no rocks under the surface so it’s a great place to practice in the whitewash and then head out back to catch your first green wave. The locals on the beach offer lessons for $10-15 a session, just turn up and you’re ready to roll.

The beach break is a short paddle across from The Rock is Kabalana Beach Break, a long stretch of multiple sandy bottom peaks that share the same shoreline. 

Kabalana is great for everyone, if you’re intermediate or advanced you’ll be able to find your own space and have fun on the bigger peaks out back. The waves here tend to close out more than most spots in Ahangama but you can still score 50+ meter rides on the good days.

Kabalana Beach has some of the best vibes in the town. There’s a good social buzz with many people sipping beers and chatting on the sand, groups playing volleyball, and local kids playing football. We highly recommend spending a day here if you visit Ahangama.
