Lampuuk Beach is the closest beach to Banda Aceh, around 20 minutes drive from the centre of the city.
Lampuuk Beach is around 2 kilometers long which wraps around a large bay so the water at the sand is calm and great for swimming.
At the western side of the bay is a large carpark area which has loads of food stalls and restaurants. On the weekends, especially on Sundays this area is crowded with local people from Banda Aceh enjoying their day off at the beach. There are some water sports available including banana boat rides!
