Accommodation favoured by surfers can be found 1km beyond the fishing village at the headland beach. Surfboards can be rented for 35, 000Rp per day and lessons are available; entry to the town costs 1500Rp.

After the bottle-green hills of the Puncak Pass, the sprawling bulk of Bandung hits you like a baseball bat across the back of the head.
