Key Hole Surf Camp

Top choice in Sumatra


Run by local surfer Timmy and his friendly family, the old favourite Key Hole Surf Camp is right in the thick of things. It has eight comfortable, air-conditioned rooms and its restaurant serves anything from pizza to lobster. Their 10-day packages (US$500) are also worth considering; these include meals, airport pick-ups, motorcycle rental and island excursions.

Surf lessons are also available on nearby Pantai Lagundri. There's also a boat for liveaboard surf trips to Telo and other outlying waves.
