Anoi Itam Beach

Pantai Anoi Itam

A black volcanic-sand beach on the southeast of Weh Island, with World War II Japanese bunker ruins on the hill overlooking the sea.

Anoi Itam means black sand. The beach is formed from volcanic sand, a dramatic contrast to the bright blue sea. On the hillside above are the remains of Second World War Japanese bunkers and gun emplacements, with views over the entrance to the Strait of Malacca. Visitors are few and facilities are basic, and swimming is not advised when waves are big. It is about 15 km from Sabang town and requires a car or a hired driver.
