Thomas Beach is the laid-back neighbor of Padang Padang, offering a less intense reef break experience just a short walk away.
A left-hand reef break over coral that works best at mid to high tide. Less hollow and less powerful than Padang Padang, making it more accessible to beginner-intermediate surfers. Clean walls with the occasional cover-up section.
Dry season (April-October) with moderate SW swells. Mid to high tide essential. SE trade winds. Works when Padang Padang is too small to break.
Separate beach access from the Padang Padang area. Stairs down to the beach.
