Kudle Beach
The beach closest to town and a favorite of backpackers, with a long stretch of sand, beach-shack cafés, and beachside yoga. It's busiest at sunset.
Kudle Beach lies below the cliffs on the south side of town. Its roughly 1 km stretch of golden sand is framed by rocks at both ends. It's the most popular beach for backpackers, with simple beach shacks, cafés, and yoga classes along the shore, and the atmosphere is laid-back. A walk over the hill from town takes about 20 minutes, and there's a viewpoint at the top of the cliffs. The classic “beach trek” starts here and continues past Om Beach, Half Moon Beach, and Paradise Beach, covering about 8 km in total. Set out early in the morning and bring plenty of water.
