Iboih Beach

Iboih Beach sits on Weh Island off the coast of Aceh and features extensive coral reefs with hundreds of colorful fish species. The turquoise waters allow visitors to see the underwater landscape clearly from the surface.

The beach's location near the Strait of Malacca gave it strategic importance during the 1800s as a military observation point. The area served as a key position during the conflicts of that era.

Fishermen work along the shore and sell fresh seafood prepared with regional spices that reflect generations of coastal living. The beachfront stalls show how the ocean has shaped daily life in this area for centuries.

Visitors reach the beach by ferry from Banda Aceh to Weh Island, then travel along coastal roads to get there. You can walk along the shoreline to explore different spots and find the best entry points.

The beach connects directly to Rubiah Marine Park, where snorkelers can swim alongside sea turtles in their environment. Napoleonfish are also commonly seen there, making encounters memorable for visitors.
