About this destination

Cabo Ledo is a bay on the coast south of Luanda, about 120 km away, roughly two hours by car along the coast road. It is the best-known surf spot in Angola, and some people call it Praia dos Surfistas (Surfers' Beach).

The wave is a long, consistent left that breaks along the point of the bay and, on good days, gives you rides of several hundred metres. Because it is slow, it suits both beginners and experienced surfers.
