Cimaja Beach, Pelabuhanratu Reef Break

Renowned for consistent right-hand peelers breaking over smooth cobblestones, creating ideal setups for both beginners and experienced surfers year-round.

Cimaja Surf Lesson was founded by seasoned local surfers who have spent their lives navigating Cimaja’s waters. We deliver structured instruction emphasizing beach safety, ocean etiquette, and deep wave dynamics.

Unlike standard beach breaks with shifting sandbars, Cimaja’s natural rounded cobblestone bottom produces clean, predictable swells. With our certified guidance, you will master paddling, wave entry, and safe exits with total peace of mind.
