Luckily because we live in an all-digital age. With a digital camera we can capture many moments and also the beautiful scenery that we have ever met. We can look back while remembering those beautiful moments. Just imagine if you lived in the age of Dutch colonialists, of course we would not be able to see the beautiful photos above.
Tonight I returned to see my photo collection. And I remembered a photo that I took at dusk on a white sand beach in Aceh. Even if you visit the same beach, there is no guarantee that the sky and the twilight effect you see will be the same. sometimes you can see sunset or dusk colors that are extraordinarily beautiful, there are times when even the dusk scenery is normal. If you often go to the beach and watch the sun set, you will realize the difference. Or worse, there are also seasons where you can only see clouds and darkness, without being able to see the sun set. I like sunset, wherever I am if I meet with sunset, I am always amazed. I often go to sunset hunting at the sand beach of Putir Lampuuk first. I ride a motorcycle in the afternoon, race against time, hoping to see the sunset.
For those of you who have traveled to Lampuuk Beach, you will agree that this beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Indonesia. Unfortunately, swimming here is not safe because there are currents that can pull you into the sea. But still you can find people swimming on this beach. I myself prefer Lampuuk from some beaches that I have visited: Anyer Beach, Parangtritis, Cermin, Pangandaran, Pantai Padang, Pantai in Mataram City, Senggigi Beach, Kuta, Sanur, Manokwari White Sand Beach, Plengkung Beach in the National Park, and many other beaches. What I like about Lampuuk is the white sand, cliffs, and rows of hills that stretch beautifully. And the combination of colors when the sun sets is very stunning. to this day I can still feel the beauty and peace of the beach.
The view of the morning and afternoon is also no less stunning. If you visit Banda Aceh, this beach must be included as a list of places to visit. about 10 minutes from lampuuk you can continue your trip to the Loknga beach. If lampuuk is a white sand beach, then the location is a rocky beach. Here you can fish. And if the tone is lucky you will bring a lot of reef fish home. If you want quiet and quiet and quiet beaches, the best time to visit this beach is Monday-Friday. Saturday morning is usually still relatively quiet, but Saturday afternoon has started to get crowded. Whereas Sunday, this beach will be full and crowded by visitors from morning to sunset.
Distance The beach from the city of Banda Aceh is about 40 minutes by motorbike or car. public transportation is relatively rare, if you want to enjoy the breath of fresh air, and spoil your eyes with a stretch of rice fields and hills, I suggest that you bounce the motorbike. Motorcycle rentals are around 80-100 thousand per day. Another alternative if you don't have your own vehicle is by rickshaw or taxi. The fare for rickshaws from the city, if you are good at bidding is around 40-50 thousand round trip, if you take a taxi, the cost might be around one hundred PP from the city. Public vehicles, a type of angkot in Aceh called labi-labi, you can ride the local turtles, the cost is around 8-10 thousands (one way).
