 Pantai Sumur Tiga on the east coast of Pulau Weh is
during western season the
best beach on Pulau Weh i.e. app. the second half of the year. For long it was kind of forgotten and only
visited by locals living in the area and a few foreigners who knew
about its solitude and good snorkeling.
The corals are not as good
as in the Iboih/Gapang area; however when it comes to the fish there
are no complaints. Dolphins are often sighted further out at sea.
Two new resorts have been built here during the last year, both with
tastefully designed bungalows, international food and good service.
 What is known as Sumur Tiga is a short stretch of beach, but in
reality the beach stretches from Iemeulee and two miles south,
thereby forming the longest beach on Pulau Weh. Sumur Tiga means the
third well. There are actually five wells along this beach. The
first well (Sumur Satu) is south of Iemeulee (meaning trickling
water) in the beginning of the beach.
After the second well (Sumur Dua) and all the way to the far to the
far end the land behind the sand beach is steep and the trees give a
lot of atmosphere and shadow for those who prefer.
 At the third
well, i.e. the Sumur Tiga itself, is the bungalows of Santai Sumur
Tiga. At the forth well (Sumur Empat) is a Japanese bunker built
with forced labor during WWII. Almost at the far end of the beach,
is the fifth well (Sumur Lima). Here is the bungalows of Casa Nemo.
By now you should be able to count to five in Indonesian.
A bit further down the coast beyond Sumur Tiga is Ujung Kareung with
more bungalows. The east coast has some nice sand stretches in
between rock formations. It can be nice to explore the coast
with snorkel, mask, and fins. Check up the current before you start. The road south is good until Anoi Itam, a
popular place amongst locals on weekends. It has a black sand beach,
a big Japanese bunker and reportedly nice corals.
There are several nice coffee shops out of the way along this road.
WORKSHOPS
Sumur Tiga has become a very popular place to do workshops.
Especially the creativity and relaxing atmosphere are appreciated
qualities. Santai Sumur Tiga and Casa Nemo work together.
