Lampuuk Beach
Pantai Lampuuk
A long white-sand beach southwest of Banda Aceh, backed by limestone hills. It is good for surfing and sunsets, and is a favorite of locals on weekends.
Lampuuk Beach lies about 20 km from downtown. Its crescent of white sand connects with pine forests and green cliffs. The entire village was nearly destroyed in the tsunami, but it has since been rebuilt and is now the beach locals love most. Simple food stalls and surfboard rentals line the shore. The waves can be large, so watch for rip currents when swimming. Aceh follows Islamic law, so tourists should not wear bikinis. T-shirts and shorts are recommended for swimming. It can be combined with the Rahmatullah Mosque and Lhoknga Beach.
