| Stay in Gapang Beach |
 |
Gapang offers the widest choice in accommodation on Pulau Weh, from basic wooden huts on the beach, or nice, simple bungalows spread out along the hill overlooking the bay to comfortable bungalows with springbeds, bathrooms, fans or AC and TV in a garden setting at the entrance to the beach. Prices ranges from only 2 (!) to 13 € (Euro) per night. |
Gapang Beach is an unique beach, with white sand halfway around the bay, surrounded by large overhanging trees; the 'Gapang' trees. So you can choose to sit on the beach in the sun, or in the shade of these grand old trees. And where in the world can you overlook the ocean waiting for some black fintips coming out of the water, grap your mask and fins to snorkel with some manta's feeding on the plankton? |

| Enjoy our meal |
| On Gapang Beach there are five restaurants to choose
from. There's choice from local Acehnese food, more general Indonesian
dishes, tropical fruit salads and some basic Western food such as
pancakes, sandwiches, french fries and Kentucky fried chicken for
example. Local versions of Pizza and Lasagna are also possible, when
ordered in time before to allow for the neccesary preparations. Also
it's possible to order other special meals beforehand, such as BBQ
Fish. (All fish on Pulau Weh is extremely fresh, so some people really
fancy our tuna for making sushimi themselves.) Cheap and good original
Achenese "family food" is served every night in a local
family restaurant here, where you still sit on the ground while eating.
All meals, tea, coffee and soft drinks on one day, on average, will cost most people less than than roughly 5-7 € in total. Beer and a few kinds of the local Indonesian brands of "firewater" are usually available on the beach, and beer can also be had in one of the restaurants in Sabang. Because of the restricted transport through the province of Aceh, the beer is quite expensive compared to other places in Indonesia though (but still comparable to Thailand/Malaysia for example). Common price for a can of beer (33 cl.): 15.000 Rp, or currently about 1.33 €. And, by the way, in case you might smoke: a package of Marlboro for example is less than 1 €. |
