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.
KLKP
View information at the parking lot is owned by a tourism
community group. They arrange boat trips, motorbikes, bicycles,
snorkeling equipment etc. Internet is available at the dive shop.
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.
