Lampuuk Beach, Lhoknga

Lhoknga (or Lhok Nga) is based in the province of Aceh, Indonesia. Located just 15 kilometers from the provincial capaital Banda Aceh, you find the quiet beaches of Lhoknga and Lampuuk. These are perfect for those wanting to visit Banda Aceh, while avoiding the hustle and bustle of the big city.

Lhoknga is said to offer the best surfing, and Lampuuk to have the best beaches for swimming and basking in the sun. However, as the two are 30 minutes walk apart, and it's hard to tell where one beach stops and the other starts, it doesn't make much difference where you opt to sleep.

Local public transport from Banda Aceh center (labi labi) can be taken from Banda Aceh for Rp30,000 (last departure at 17:00).
