Sorake beach is the main destination for tourists who want to try the quality of the waves. In addition, local residents also have the possibility to learn to surf. If we are not professional surfers but are interested in trying and learning, we can ask local residents to teach us. They will explain the types of waves at Sorake Beach, as well as teach us basic surfing techniques.
The best time to study for beginners is in the morning. Because the waves are not that high, so there is no need to pedal or push the body too strongly into the middle of the sea. If you are tired of wading through the waves, we can rest on the beach while watching the action of the surfers. You can even stay at various inns with surf camp concepts, which are mushrooming along the coast.
To reach this beach, we have to take an air route from Medan Kualanamu Airport to Binaka Airport in Gunungsitoli. Approximately the journey takes about an hour. Next, continue the journey by taking the land route to Sorake Beach in Teluk Dalam. More specifically, Sorake Beach is located in Botohili Sorake Village, Luahgundre Maniamolo District, South Nias Regency.
