Gandoriah Beach, Pariaman
Pantai Gandoriah
A city beach beside Pariaman railway station, with boats to Ujung Duo Island. The Tabuik festival is held here every year.
Pariaman is about 55 kilometers from Padang and can be reached by sightseeing train. You can walk straight from the station to the beach, which is a good way to experience a local weekend outing. Snack stalls along the beach sell grilled fish and satay. About 15 minutes by boat offshore is Ujung Duo Island, encircled by white sand. Each year, during the Islamic month of Muharram, the Tabuik festival carries tall decorated towers into the sea, creating a grand spectacle.
