 The beach area near
Pulau Rubiah has become known as Iboih. Teupin
Layeu is a more exact name. Here we use Iboih. This area has more of
a backpacker family feeling than Gapang. Besides diving, snorkeling,
swimming and relaxing the area is also nice for walks, either north
to the next beach and Km 0 or south along the path to Lhok Weing.
The island Rubiah just outside is worth a visit. There are even a
few bungalows on the southern end. It is possible to swim over, but
only if you are a good swimmer. Use fins and remember that
the current in between can be very strong. Don’t do it alone.
Otherwise, go by boat.
 Teupin Layeu View information is owned by the tourism
entrepreneurs of Iboih and Gapang. So far they have opened a small
office at the parking lot in Iboih. They can help you to arrange
boat trips, to rent motorbikes, snorkeling equipment etc.
FOOD
Several restaurants and coffee shops can be found at
the fishermen's beach and parking area are overlooking the
beach. They serve mainly Indonesian food. Just beyond the gate to
the bungalow area is Café Olala and at the second beach you

accommodations have their own restaurants. International and Western
style food available in all places.
