Parbaba White Sand Beach
Pantai Pasir Putih Parbaba
A rare fine white-sand lake beach on Samosir’s northwest shore, with clear, calm water, good for wading, boating, and lunch breaks.
Parbaba White Sand Beach lies north of Pangururan on the northwest coast of Samosir Island and is one of the few fine-sand lake beaches around Lake Toba. The water is clear and the slope gentle. Along the shore, stalls rent inflatable rings, banana boats, and motorboats, and small restaurants serve grilled fish and Indonesian fried noodles. It is popular with local families on weekends and holidays. The lake stays cool year-round, so the afternoon is the best time for a dip. It is about 1 hour by motorbike from Tuk-Tuk and makes a good lunch stop on an island loop.
