The huge waves at Plengkung Beach may
not be appropriate for beginners, however, the enchanting scenery around
the beach truly presents an equal attraction if you do not surf. Its
soft white sands are sparkling like crystals which makes it a most
enjoyable feature for a morning or evening stroll. And, as far as the
eye can see, the pristine clear blue waters provide an astounding
panorama.
The waves of G-Land are mainly divided
into three categories: the Kong, Speedies, and Many Tracks. The Kongs
can reach 6-8 meters high and are the most favored among international
surfers. The Speedies are the main course for professional surfers.

with height reaching between 3 to 4 meters.
Those who wish to learn to surf can go to the nearby Batu Lawang Beach,
