Iboih beach is the hub of tourist activity on Sabang Island — a stretch of white sand on the western coast of Pulau Weh, about 20 km from the main town of Sabang. It is backed by simple guesthouses, beachside cafes, and several dive operators offering PADI courses and guided dives. The beach itself is pleasant, but the real draw is the water: the coral reefs begin just offshore, and snorkelling directly from the beach gives access to colourful fish, sea turtles, and the outer edge of the reef.
From Iboih, boats make the short crossing to Rubiah Island (five to ten minutes), where the Sea Garden — a protected marine area with some of the best coral in the region — lies in clear, calm water. The base is popular and friendly, with a budget guesthouse scene that draws divers from across Indonesia.
