Ujong Blang Beach, Public beach in Lhokseumawe City, Indonesia.
Ujong Blang Beach is a public coastal area in Lhokseumawe located where a river meets the sea, with several neighborhoods spreading across the shoreline. The beach connects these communities and serves as a central gathering point for the area.
The area originally consisted of rice paddies and marshlands before transforming into an urban coastal zone. This shift from rural to city spaces shaped how the land is used and developed today.
Fishing forms the core of daily life here, with local fishermen working along the shoreline and their boats dotting the water. The community revolves around the sea and its rhythms shape how people use this coastal area.
The beach is central to the city and easy to reach with basic facilities available on site for visitors. Morning or early afternoon visits work best when the area is quieter and you can observe daily fishing activity more clearly.
The beach has suffered significant erosion since the 1990s, steadily losing width to the sea. This ongoing change makes it a compelling example of how natural coastal forces reshape the landscape over time.
