Bachelors' Trip
Fuel up at Baker Street, then hit the north surf belt while you're fresh: a morning lesson at Kallialay Surf School on Serenity, beach time, a well-earned lunch at Terrassen, and a second dip at Auroville Beach. Roll back into White Town for shopping at Casablanca and sunset on Promenade, then close the night with craft beers at Catamaran Brewing Company.
