Pasir Jambak Beach
Pantai Pasia Jambak
A white-sand beach north of Padang, with casuarina trees for shade, picnics, and horseback riding. You can also watch fishermen haul nets and visit a sea turtle release.
Pasir Jambak Beach lies in the Koto Tangah district, about 20 kilometers north of downtown. Its sand is cleaner and wider than the city beaches, and a grove of casuarina trees by the shore is ideal for picnics and relaxing. There is a sea turtle conservation point nearby, where you can watch young turtles being released. Early in the morning, you can see fishermen hauling nets in the traditional 'mamukek' style. It is about 40 minutes' drive from downtown and can be arranged on the way to or from the airport.
