Kodi, West Sumba Cruises

Kodi, West Sumba Cruise Port

• If you're looking to combine history with relaxation, don't miss Ratenggaro Beach. Here you'll find a traditional village along with megaliths, or stone tombs, near some of the homes. The waves here make for good surfing when they're not too strong. Villagers may have traditional handcrafted items for sale if you're looking for authentic souvenirs.
   
• Pero Beach is a cool place to watch the fishing boats go in and out, and examine the catches of the day; those looking for fresh squid can buy it right off the boat. One side of the beach is rockier than the other, so if you're looking for a more traditional beach experience, stick to the right side or the nearby lagoon.
   
• For a smaller beach, check out Mandorak, hidden between two reef walls. Located near the Kale Ronga Village, there are plenty of rocks, sand, and lagoons; it also has strong waves for surfing.
   
• For some real peace and quiet, visit Karo Beach. This one is full of shade trees which provide a lovely carpet of leaves should you visit during autumn.
