Breueh Island
Island Island off Aceh's coast west of Sumatra
An island off Aceh’s coast with beaches and coral reefs; visitors come for snorkeling, fishing and short boat trips from nearby ports.
Breueh Island is an island in Aceh province in northwestern Indonesia, located off the northern tip of Sumatra. It is part of the coastal island chain that fringes the entrance to the Andaman Sea.
The island offers coastal scenery and local fishing communities; there are beaches and rocky shoreline rather than large built attractions. Specific visitor facilities are limited and access is by small boat from nearby mainland points.
There is no widely recorded single founding event; the island has been used historically by local Acehnese communities for fishing and small-scale habitation. Administrative control falls under Aceh provincial authorities.
Geographically the island lies off Sumatra’s northern coast in the Indian Ocean sector near the entrance to the Bay of Bengal, within Aceh province of Indonesia. The nearest major urban centre is Banda Aceh on Sumatra’s northern coast.
- Access: Sits off the northwestern tip of Sumatra, within Aceh province; local transport is by small boat from nearby mainland settlements.
