Pango Point

Efate, Vanuatu
🪸Sharp reef🌀Strong rips

Pango Point is Vanuatu's most accessible quality wave—a right-hand reef break just outside Port Vila that catches south swells pushing up from the Tasman Sea and Coral Sea. The wave breaks over coral reef in warm, clear water with the volcanic island backdrop that makes the South Pacific so visually stunning. While not as remote as other Melanesian destinations, Pango Point offers a legitimate surfing experience within easy reach of Vanuatu's capital. For travelers exploring the region, it provides a reliable option without the logistical challenges of more remote breaks.
