Pulau Singkep

Jago to Dabo

After about 4 hours of boat from Tanjung Pinang in Bintan I finally arrived in Pulau Singkep.
The boat stops in Jago and as there seems to be really nothing there I decided to go straight to Dabo to try and find a place to stay.
After a few Kms of very steep up and down hills there are about 20Km of coastal road to go to the main town of Dabo. The coastal road sits on a 5/10 meter cliff and is very scenic and with very little traffic. This is probably the most enjoyable road I ever did in the Riau islands.






After a breakfast of Kopi-o, some sort of mee rebus and the obligatory chit chat with a coffeshop customer who didn' t let me pay for my breakfast and recommended a few sights, I headed off for Pantai Batu Berduan. The beach of Batu Berduan (rock tree) is nice and clean. There was none there when I visited.
The ride from Dabo passes by a few very nice kampungs. People are chatty, smiley, and very nice. What a great island!
