Old Man's

Old Man's is one of Bali's most iconic surf breaks, located on the dramatic black volcanic sand beaches near Cemagi. This world-renowned left-hand reef break attracts surfers from around the globe with its consistent, powerful waves that work best during the dry season. The beach offers spectacular sunset views over the Indian Ocean, making it equally appealing to non-surfers who come to relax and watch the action. Guests staying at The R Villa Talang will find Old Man's easily accessible and perfect for both morning surf sessions and evening sunset viewing. The break is suitable for intermediate to advanced surfers, though beginners can enjoy the beach and smaller inside waves. The surrounding area has developed a laid-back surf culture with local warungs serving fresh seafood and cold drinks. Visitors should bring sun protection, as the black sand can get extremely hot. The best surf conditions are typically early morning or late afternoon, coinciding perfectly with the famous Balinese sunsets that paint the sky in brilliant oranges and pinks.
