 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. New resorts have been built here
during the last years, 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
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, more known as Freddie's. 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. On the point itself is a new resort
coming up.
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 nice corals. There is a new up-market resort
here called Rasa Seni. There are several nice coffee shops
out of the way along this road.
There are no Dive schools on the East Coast, but all the
major accommodations have connections to Dive operators and can
easily arrange diving. They also arrange snorkeling and fishing
trips, as well as regular round trips.
WORKSHOPS
Sumur Tiga has become a popular place to do workshops.
Especially the creativity and relaxing atmosphere are appreciated
qualities. Santai Sumur Tiga, Casa Nemo, and the new Ujung Karang
Conference Center work together, coordinated by Freddie’s. Ujung
Karang can take 60 persons in it’s fully equipped conference room.
