We weren't lucky enough to get a swell during our 10 days but the Flow Rider bar opposite the beach provided us with a lot of fun instead.

Take snorkels: lovely warm water, tropical fish in shallow water. It’s a stunning place. But remember: Monsoons bring in some plastics so always be a helpful traveler: fish out what you find so we help the wildlife 

Get to the beach early to secure a deckchair.
