Situated close to the fishing village of Ujung Genteng, Turtles is a short intense left hander breaking over a shallow urchin covered reef ledge.
Steep heaving take-offs and close encounters with the reef are common here. Glassy early morning sessions before the wind gets on it are best.
There is a long black sand beach the other side of the harbour reachable from the main road by turning off where a large gray missile is mounted and taking a small dirt path over the dunes and onto the beach. The rainy season winds blows offshore all day here and there are fun shifty A-frame peaks breaking along its length. Although the waves can still be quite sizeable, after constantly surfing over shallow reefs it was cool to kick back and relax at a mellower break.
