Beach
Beaches in Weh Island are very varied and very appealing to visit. The nearest beach to Sabang town is Pantai Kasih (Coast of Love). About two kilometers towards southwest is a stony beach occupied with many coconut trees that go all along the peninsula. All along this peninsula you can find some remains of World War II in the form of fortresses for heavy weapon such as cannon.
Following coastal line about two kilometers, we are welcome by Tapak Gajah (Elephant Footprint) beach. If we go onward, we will come to Coast Sumur Tiga (Three Wells) beach. The smooth white sand and clear sea water are very ideal for swimming and snorkeling. About two kilometers from Sumur Tiga beach is Ujung Kareung beach. Here you can find many coral reefs, coral fish, and also starfish. The other beautiful beach can be found in Gapang. This is a beautiful wide white sandy beach near Iboih village, western part of Sabang town.
Coastal Cave
There are some natural caves in the west coast of Weh Island located adjacent to Iboih National Park. These caves are facing the ocean and occupied with varied birds, bats, and snakes. Exploring this place by boat, you have to be accompanied by the local people because its location is fairly difficult to be reached and dangerous especially during the months of May and September and at this period strong seasonal west wind usually takes place. However, this condition can be very challenging to cave lovers.
