Tapak Paderi Beach
Pantai Tapak Paderi
A bay at the foot of Fort Marlborough where you can photograph the fort, fishing boats, and an Indian Ocean sunset from the seawall promenade.
The beach lies just north of Fort Marlborough. The bay is gentle, and along the shore are a viewing promenade, the Tugu Pers (press monument), and a small pier. In the evening, you can watch fishing boats come into harbor and the sun set over the Indian Ocean from the seawall, and there are food stalls at night. Swimming is not recommended, so it is mainly for walking and photography. Admission is free, and it is about a 5-minute walk from the fort. During the Tabot festival in the Islamic month of Muharram, parades and markets take place in the surrounding area.
