Hello Sabang Island, My First Steps in the Western Tip of Indonesia.🇲🇨🇲🇨

Good evening HIVE friends, everyone in this beloved community. I hope you are all healthy and happy so you can carry out your daily activities as usual, and I hope you all have a pleasant day.

In this blog, I will finally share some pictures about Sabang and finally the word Sabang is not only on the map anymore, a few days ago I actually set foot on the western tip of Indonesia for the first time. Please follow my simple blog to see the beauty of the island when I first arrived there with some pictures that I will share later.

After a 45-minute boat trip from Ulee Lheue Harbor, which felt incredibly long, my fatigue vanished as I disembarked and arrived at Balohan Harbor, greeted by the Welcome to Sabang City gate. The gate didn't look grand like an airport, but rather warm, like a beautiful small island town waiting for me for a long time.

My friends...
Sabang Island is one of the places I've been dreaming of for the past few years—to visit and enjoy the ocean views, famous for its coral reefs. This opportunity finally came true a few days ago. Upon arriving at the harbor, I immediately paused, took a breath, and enjoyed the serene atmosphere of the Balohan Harbor area.

As I mentioned above, Sabang Island is renowned for its beauty, one of which is its eye-catching beaches. Black coral reefs meeting turquoise waters are a common sight on the island. The waves aren't big, but the views are truly captivating.
For me personally, the atmosphere on this island is so calming—not crowded, not forced, but rather soothing to my mind, which was previously filled with noise when I was in Banda Aceh exploring several tourist destinations.

My friend...
On this island, it's as if the sky seems wider, with the views unobstructed by buildings. After visiting Indonesia's westernmost island, I learned that the "tip" isn't deserted; the western tip of Indonesia is actually the most welcoming, bustling, and peaceful. I thought "ujung" meant "finished." It turns out that in Sabang, "ujung" means "beginning," "the beginning of calm," and "the beginning of a new story."

Perhaps in the next few days, I'll share a blog post focusing on some must-visit tourist destinations and my personal experiences on Sabang Island.

My friends...
The image above shows an asphalt road cut through the forest, quiet, green, and gently undulating.
In this area, I encountered no honking cars, no traffic jams, just the sound of the wind and rustling leaves, and a truly serene view. This is the view I experienced in Sabang, the westernmost island of Indonesia.

When I first arrived on the island, of course the first thing I wanted was to take a short break from the tiredness of the journey and the tiredness of exploring the city of Banda Aceh, which I might focus on vacationing on the island the next day, but today I want to share some simple pictures about a glimpse of Sabang Island, the westernmost island in Indonesia.

Then the weather on this small island changed. The past few days have been unpredictable. When I first arrived at the harbor, the weather was sunny and the scenery beautiful, but now the weather has changed, with a light drizzle beginning to drench Sabang Island. Here are some pictures I took in the urban area after the drizzle began to drench the city.

Well, my friends, those are some of the pictures and short posts from me on this blog. I hope you all enjoyed and enjoyed what I've shared. I also extend my heartfelt thanks to all of you who have taken the time to view and read my blog to the end.

Please leave your comments, support, and input, which means a lot to me so I can make this blog even better in the future. Stay tuned for my next blog, featuring some of the tourist destinations I've visited on Sabang Island and my personal experiences to share.

That's all for now.
Greetings everyone, and see you in my next blog.
