Sabang Town
Kota Sabang
A small port town on the north coast of Weh Island, with colonial-era architecture and a harbour. It's the island's hub for accommodation, food and transport.
Sabang was once an important coaling port in the Dutch East Indies. Today the old town still has colonial-era timber houses, churches and the Sabang Museum. By the sea stands the Sabang–Merauke Twin Monument, which marks Indonesia's western and eastern extremes. In the evening, stroll the waterfront promenade to watch the sunset over the bay. The night market serves Aceh coffee, grilled fish and sate gurita, octopus satay, a Sabang specialty. It takes about 20 minutes by taxi from Balohan Port. Most visitors rent scooters here to explore the island.
