Sabang is the main town on the island of Pulau Weh off the northern tip of Sumatra in the province of Aceh. The island is home to the Kilometer Nol (Kilometre 0) monument which marks the most northern part of the archipelago and either the start or the end of the country depending on whether you are clearing in or out of Indonesia.
The harbour is deep - but it is possible to anchor in 24 - 25 meter depths. Mooring balls are available.
Friendly officials and very helpful locals. Good for stocking up on fuel and provisions. However, as the island is part of the Aceh province it is strictly Muslim and alcohol is prohibited.
Beautiful beaches and the island the diving is reported to be excellent with untouched reefs offering something for every level of experience.
The Japanese occupied the island and installed numerous bunkers, fortifications and gun emplacements. Their remnants can still be seen, though most have been re-purposed or removed.
