Tuapejat
The seat of Mentawai Regency and its main port, about 4 hours by fast boat from Padang; a gathering point for surf camps and liveaboard boats.
Tuapejat lies in the north of Sipora Island and is the seat of the Mentawai Islands Regency government. Several Mentawai Fast boats call here from Padang each week, a trip of about 3.5 to 4 hours. The town has banks, a market and guesthouses, and nearby Jati Beach is good for swimming and watching the sunset. Most surfers transfer to speedboats here to reach Playgrounds or the southern breaks, and day island-hopping snorkel trips can also be arranged.
