Lenakil is Tanna Island's most famous left, breaking right in front of Lenakel village on the west coast. A hollow reef break that works best with SW-S swells during the trade wind season. The unique setting includes views of Mt. Yasur, one of the world's most accessible active volcanoes. Remote and uncrowded.
