Surf Village is just steps from the beach and should be your first stop if you want to kick-start your surfing career. The main draw is the Billabong factory store, but there are a variety of smaller one-off boutiques to complete your beach-bum image. The retail Billabong store also rents surfboards and wetsuits.
