Nobadeer Beach

Nobadeer Beach is a lively destination known for its vibrant atmosphere and adventurous vibe. Situated near the island's airport, it offers unique views of planes landing and taking off, adding an unusual charm to the beach experience. Popular among young adults, the beach features activities like surfing, beach sports, and swimming. Surfboard and wetsuit rentals as well as surf lessons are available during the summer months through Ack Surf School. While lifeguards patrol during peak seasons, the powerful waves and rip currents make swimming risky, making it ideal for experienced surfers rather than casual swimmers. Beach driving is permitted with a 4WD and a permit.
