Lhoknga, Coastal district in Great Aceh, Indonesia.
Lhoknga extends along the western coast of Sumatra, featuring white sand beaches bordered by coconut trees and strong waves suitable for water activities.
The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami devastated the district, reducing its population from 7,500 to 400 residents and leaving only the local mosque standing.
The district preserves Indonesian coastal traditions through local fishing practices and maritime activities integrated into daily community routines.
Visitors can reach Lhoknga from Banda Aceh City by traveling 16.5 kilometers southwest on Banda Aceh-Calang Street, with optimal surfing conditions between June and November.
Splay faults in the ocean floor near Lhoknga created waves reaching 35 meters during the 2004 tsunami, marking some of the highest recorded wave heights.
