Cingkuak Island Becomes a Mainstay of Tourism in West Sumatra's South Coast

Expanses of white sand, clear sea water, and historical traces make Cingkuak Island one of the favourite destinations in Pesisir Selatan, West Sumatra. To improve tourist comfort, the local government has begun organising crossing services by setting an official tariff that includes insurance protection. The quiet atmosphere makes the island a choice for family holidays as well as nature lovers. Besides its beach panorama, Cingkuak Island is also known for having the remains of an old fort from the colonial era, which is a special attraction for visiting tourists. The improvement of services and destination management is expected to increase tourist comfort while preserving the sustainability of Cingkuak Island as one of the leading destinations on the west coast of Sumatra.
