Samudera Ujung beach is recommended for surfing mania. It is the best spot for more experienced surfers in Bengkulu
. Samudera Ujung beach is clean enough with its white sand and natural spruces along the beach, which makes it very suitable for surfing; it is easy to reach and free from pollution. Only a few local or foreign surfers come to surf here, so you don’t have to wait for a wave patiently or fight against other surfers for waves.

It is located near the ocean harbor Pulau Baai about 17 km (10.6 miles) from Bengkulu city center, on an asphalt road, and can be reached by motorbikes and all four-wheel-drive vehicles. For surfers it will be a frustrating trip taking non-chartered cars. It is easier to get there by paying more for a chartered angkot (city transport) for Rp 50,000 (return trip). The driver will drop you off and pick you up later.

No entrance fee, except on Idul Fitri also known as Lebaran and Idul Adha or Lebaran Haji, the visitors are charged by the locals for Rp. 1,000 per one person.

Equipment: Because it is out of the city, there is no inn or hotel or food stall nearby the surfing spots, so don't forget to bring your own food, drink and gear!
