Pulau Banyak One of the sub-districts in Aceh Singkil district. Pulau Banyak District consists of three villages inhabited by a thousand residents, namely Balai Island, Baguk Island, and Teluk Nibung.
Pulau Balai and Pulau Baguk, a starting point for residents and tourists who want to enjoy the beauty of nature on several islands in the Banyak Islands.
From this Balai Island, tourists hire speedboats and fishing boats, to reach tourist destinations in Rangit Island, Sikandang, Palambak, Tailana, to Bangkaru Island which is famous for green turtles.
In the Banyak Islands there is also another sub-district covering several islands, Many West with the sub-district of Haloban Village.
When we visited on Monday, Balai Island is quite lively, because it is a weekly market schedule or often called a day weekend.
Residents are very enthusiastic to shop for various food and clothing needs.
While on the night other than Monday night, the life of Pulau Banyak is mostly filled with the activities of fishermen who dismantle fish catches for export to other regions, as well as abroad.
Here's a look at the nightlife on Pulau Banyak which is in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
Visiting Many islands, Pearls in the Indian Ocean
Visiting Pulau Banyak, gives a deep impression to me.
Need strong guts to reach the archipelago that is 26 nautical miles off the coast of this Singkil.
When the speed boat that we are riding across the Indian Ocean, the natural state is not friendly.
Waves as high as two meters, stirring up the stomach contents for 90 minutes journey in one of the world's terganas waters.
However, all that paid off when the speed boat that took us slowly began to enter the waters of Pulau Balai, the capital of Pulau Banyak District.
Flickering lights from residents' houses and fishing boats look very beautiful in the dark of the ocean.
In the morning, we continue to travel around the islands around, such as Tuangku Island in the District of Pulau Banyak Barat, Rangit Island, Tailana Island, and Pulau Palambak.
The last two islands, as well as several other islands, such as Sikandang and Bangkaru Islands, are now one of the favorite tourist destinations.
The beauty of the beach and sunrise and sunset are very beautiful, guaranteed to make you feel at home for long stay here.
Pulau Banyak is like a pearl in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
