Hello travelers, how are you this weekend? Are you still on vacation or are you satisfied with your trip and back home? Of course, for those of you who are crazy about natural scenery, you will not stop traveling and continue to visit beautiful places.
we are still exploring the island of Sabang and exploring the beautiful and enchanting tourist destinations, Sabang Island, also known as Weh Island, is one of the best tourist destinations in Aceh with stunning natural beauty, especially for lovers of the sea and adventure. Here are some popular tourist destinations on Sabang Island, including: Iboih Beach, Rubiah Island, Sumur Tiga Beach, Indonesian Kilometer Zero Monument, Sarang Cave, Aneuk Laot Lake, Pria Laot Waterfall, and also Kasih Beach. However, because our vacation this time only lasted 1 day, of course it was impossible to reach all of these popular destinations, we only had time to reach three tourist destinations in Sabang with our short vacation time.
Sabang Island not only offers stunning underwater natural beauty, but also the enchanting natural beauty of its land. Every corner of this island has its own uniqueness that makes it a must-visit tourist destination in Aceh. Tourist destinations in Sabang, especially on Weh Island, have a number of advantages that make it one of the favorite places for tourists, both domestic and international. Sabang is a paradise for diving and snorkeling lovers. Its marine park rich in coral reefs, tropical fish, and other marine biota makes it one of the best diving spots in Indonesia. Several diving spots such as Rubiah Island, Pantee Peunateung, and The Canyon offer an extraordinary diving experience with high water visibility. Beaches in Sabang such as Iboih Beach, Sumur Tiga Beach, and Anoi Itam Beach offer natural beauty with white sand and clear sea water. Most of these beaches are still natural and not too crowded, providing a more exclusive experience. From white sandy beaches to beaches with volcanic black sand, Sabang offers a variety of unique and interesting beach characters.
So, with such a short holiday duration, we chose the first place to visit to be the Indonesian Kilometer Zero Monument, this place is a must visit if you are on holiday to Sabang Island, because it is not said to have visited Sabang Island if you do not take a photo in front of the Indonesian Kilometer Zero Monument.
The Zero Kilometer Monument of Indonesia is an important monument located at the western tip of Indonesia, precisely on Weh Island, Sabang, Aceh Province. This monument is a landmark that marks the starting point for calculating kilometer distances throughout Indonesia, from Sabang in the west to Merauke in the east.
This monument is located in Iboih Ujong Ba'u Village, Sukakarya District, Sabang. To reach this monument, visitors must travel about 29 km from the center of Sabang city through winding roads and surrounded by stunning views of forests and beaches.
The Zero Kilometer Monument has a unique and magnificent design. This monument is in the form of a tower about 22.5 meters high, with a round peak and decorated with the Garuda bird symbol, the symbol of the Indonesian state. At the bottom of the monument there is an inscription that lists the geographical coordinates and an official statement as the zero point of Indonesia.
Around the monument, there is also a large inscription "Zero Kilometer of Indonesia" which is often used as a background for tourists' photos. Visitors usually take pictures here as a sign that they have visited the westernmost point of Indonesia.
Many tourists make a visit to the Kilometer Zero Monument one of the mandatory activities when in Sabang. Visitors also often get a special certificate showing that they have reached the Kilometer Zero of Indonesia, which can be obtained at the location as a souvenir. Overall, the Kilometer Zero Monument of Indonesia is not only a monument, but also a symbol of national pride that reminds us of the vastness of Indonesia's territory and the importance of the unity and integrity of the nation.
Although the Indonesian Kilometer Zero Monument in Sabang is famous as a tourist destination that focuses more on natural scenery and symbolic landmarks, visitors can also enjoy typical Acehnese culinary tours around this location, and we visited a Rujak Hut around the location of this monument, typical Acehnese Rujak with a combination of various types of fruits available in Aceh.
Rujak Aceh is one of the typical snacks from Aceh which is famous for its fresh, spicy, and sweet taste. This rujak is a unique variation of the fruit rujak commonly found in various regions in Indonesia, but with spices and ingredients that are typical of Aceh.
Rujak Aceh usually consists of various types of fresh fruits, which generally include:
-Starfruit: Gives a touch of sourness and a unique texture.
-Mango: Mango that is still slightly unripe, gives a fresh sour taste.
-Water apple: This fruit adds a sweet taste and a crunchy texture.
-Batu banana: A young banana with a hard texture and a slightly tart taste.
-Papaya: Adds a natural sweet taste and a soft texture.
-Pineapple: Pineapple adds a distinctive sweet and sour taste.
The characteristic of Rujak Aceh lies in its rich seasoning. This rujak seasoning is made from:
-Peanuts: Often added with coarsely ground peanuts, giving a distinctive texture and savory taste.
-Brown sugar: Sugar that gives a distinctive sweet taste and a hint of caramel aroma.
-Tamarind: Gives a strong and fresh sour taste.
-Cayenne pepper: Pounded together to give a pungent spicy sensation.
-Salt: To balance the taste.
Rujak Aceh is usually served in individual portions, with the seasoning poured or mixed directly on the fruit pieces. This dish can be enjoyed as an afternoon snack or as a refreshing dessert after enjoying a heavy meal. When enjoying Rujak Aceh, you will feel a rich combination of flavors: sweet from brown sugar, sour from fruit and tamarind, spicy from cayenne pepper, and a little savory from peanuts. This sensation makes rujak Aceh a very satisfying dish, especially on a hot day.
After an hour of walking around the tourist area of the Indonesian Kilometer Zero Monument, we stopped at a food stall in Sabang City. This food stall is one of the popular places to eat in Sabang because it serves Acehnese home cooking with authentic flavors. This place is often visited by locals and tourists looking for affordable food. Popular dishes at this food stall include mixed rice, chicken tangkap, and sour fish keueng.
After finishing lunch, we moved to the Fredies Sumur Tiga tourist attraction, this place has a very beautiful sea view, for those who like selfies, this place will be interesting to collect some beautiful travel memories.

Next we visited a place that was more beautiful than the previous places, namely Rubiah Island which has very beautiful views.
Rubiah Island is one of the most famous tourist destinations in Sabang, Weh Island, Aceh. Famous for its underwater beauty, Rubiah Island is a paradise for divers and snorkeling enthusiasts.
Rubiah Island is located northwest of Weh Island, not far from Iboih Beach, which is one of the famous beaches in Sabang. This island can be accessed by boat in about 10-15 minutes from Iboih Beach.
Access to Rubiah Island is quite easy. Tourists usually rent a boat from Iboih Beach to go to this island. These boats are available at all times, especially during the holiday season.
