SABANG is a compact and pretty little town with plenty of quaint
colonial architecture. On the main street, Jalan Perdagangan, there's a
small post office , a Telkom office next door (with Home Dialling Direct
phones), a BRI bank and exchange, four losmen, a hotel and some
restaurants. There's also Weh's only diving shop , the Stingray Dive
Centre, Jl Teuku Umar 3 (tel 0652/21265), which does diving courses and
an underwater photography workshop (US$100), sells secondhand books and
rents motorbikes (Rp20,000 per day).
Of the losmen , the Irma (tel 0652/21148; $5-10) and Pulau Jaya (tel
0652/21344; $5-10), at nos. 3 and 17 on Jalan Teuku Umar, are the two
most popular choices with travellers, though they are both basic and
noisy. The Sabang Marauke (tel 0652/21928; $5-10), on Jalan Seulawah, a
side road opposite the Irma, is cheaper, friendlier and quieter. All lie
within 200m of the bus stop in Sabang, opposite the Irma. The Dynasty,
Jl Perdagangan 54, serves the best food - try their cumi goreng (fried
squid) for Rp6500. Harry's, the café below the Irma, is the main
travellers' café in Sabang and serves excellent pancakes.
