Ambriz Beach
Ambriz Beach is a remote beach break north of Luanda, offering quality waves with virtually no one around. The town of Ambriz was once an important Portuguese trading post, and the colonial-era buildings add historical interest to the surf trip. The beach produces fun peaks when SW swells arrive.
