Tropicals is the softest, most forgiving wave in West Sumbawa, breaking as both lefts and rights on a beautiful white sand beach. The headland provides shelter from certain wind directions, creating a protected zone that often stays clean when other breaks are blown out. It's the go-to spot for beginner-to-intermediate surfers in the area, or for anyone seeking a mellow session in a stunning tropical setting.
