TRIKORA BEACH  

          This time our discussion will be heading to the island of Bintan. A large island in the Riau Islands of Indonesia and inhabited by various tribes. But the indigenous people of the island of Bintan is ethnic Malay. On this island has three Government, the City of Tanjung Pinang located in Senggarang, Government of Bintan Regency, located in Bandar Seri Bintan, Riau Islands Province and the Government on the island Dompak (Tanjung Pinang).The island is adjacent to Batam Island and also with Singapore. Bintan Island is the largest island in the Riau Archipelago, which comprises almost 3,000 large and small islands surrounded by South China Sea. Tanjung Pinang is the capital of the province is located on the south west coast of Bintan. Geographically and strategically this archipelago is located on the southern peninsula of Malaysia at the mouth of the Strait of Malacca, the Riau archipelago, which is a favorite place and become the traffic of  the ships to East and South regions of Earth's such as Australia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and New Zealand or from east or south to the plains of Europe, Asia and America. And its likely a paradise for treasure and antiques hunter from the ships that sank in these sea.

         But apart from its interesting historical stories, Bintan has a lot of tourist destinations that are not less attractive to be compared to Bali and Lombok, which already been famous and go international. Ya..Bintan has a beautiful beach along with white sand and overlooking to the vast of South China Sea which are Lagoi coastal and trikora. I will discuss about trikora one because I've been visited this place before. Trikora Beach has a stunning beauty. The beautiful seem unique just like the beaches in Bali and Lombok but for this one, Trikora beach is equipped with a cluster of rocks and vast white sand along the coast. Along the way after entering the intersection heading to Trikora and Tanjung Pinang, the seascape already noticeable. If the weather is sunny, it will make the journey are more
Interesting though hot weather overshadow the trip.

         Beside the beautiful beaches which has been present by Bintan Island so far, there are a lot of amazing food and culinary you can earn on this area but the famous one is "Otak-Otak". It made of from fish, Cuttlefish, Shrimp. You can get it along the trip to Trikora Beaches. They sell it on the roadside. The price per each is Rp.2000. its tasty and delicious.

The Journey Direction

         For those of you who come and want to start the journey from Batam, you will begin its journey through the port of Tanjung Punggur by aboard the cargo ship its called Ro-Ro, because this path from Tanjung Punggur port  to Bintan port are shorter than if you dropped in the port of Tanjung Pinang. You can bring your vehicle even it is car or motorcycle along with your self if you cross the sea by aboard the crossing ship. 
My last trip heading to Bintan and brought the vehicle, the rate for crossing to Bintan along with car was Rp. 260K and the rate has been include the driver, and the rate for motorcycle was Rp. 80K and that is include the rider as well. But for the passenger, it will take Rp. 20K per each. The trip to cross the island is taking less than 1 hour. On the crossing ship aboard, there is canteen that sold the food and beverage such as Coffee, Tea, Milk and noodle or snack. 
        Upon arriving at the port of Tanjung Uban - Bintan, the trip will foward to trikora and it will takes approximately 1 hour from the port and that's why to bring the vehicle can make the trip will be easier.  But for those of you who are not bring the vehicle, if you already have booked the hotel, usually the hotel has some services to pick you up to the port and if the hotel does not provide shuttle service, you may ask the local residents or port officer regarding to the transportation to drive you to the Trikora. Furthermore, after traveling overland to the coast trikora, I was to chose the homestay Serumpun Padi Emas Resort as my last stop. The resort has reachable rate to stay and equipped by Air Conditioner, Television and soft bed. The Resort lies in the Trikora Beach area and this place is the favorite destination for the local tourists and international tourists. They are visiting this place here on holiday and weekend. When I was there, I saw a lot of tourist from Europe and Australia. By the way, talking about the homestay, Serumpun Padi Emas Resort has a rate for Rp.550k/night installment . And more interesting is the room layout is exactly facing the overlay of white sand of the beach. The overlay of white sand and being overgrown by palm trees and the clear sea water will make your exhausting trip was not in vain. You can enjoy the perfection and large rocks in a certain part of this beach that has made it becomes more amazing.
         Well, if this information making you wondering and curious to experience and prove it, why you don't try it by coming and visiting the wonderful beaches on Bintan Island.
