Acehat the northwestern tip of Sumatra, connected with the outside world in the early sixth century AD. The chinese chronicle then spoke of a kingdom in the northern tip of Sumatra called Po-Li. Some Arabic writings in the early ninth century, and later inscriptions found in India mention the area. In 1292, Marco Polo, on his journey from China to Persia visited Sumatra and reported that in the northern part of Sumatra there were as many as six trading ports including Ferlec, Samudera and Lambri. It is ironic that this area is currently one of the most unknown countries in Indonesia.

One of the beaches in this province is Ujong Blang Beach, a wide stretch of beach accompanied by calm waves whilst adding to the beauty of the beach located in the city of Lhokseumawe, Aceh. On this coast it empties Cunda River Cangkoi River where the river is crossing 4 villages namely, Ujong Blang Village, Ulee Road, Northwest Hagu, and Hagu Tengah Village.

The beauty of Ujong Blang beach is located on the sunrise view which leaves its own impression as the visitors. That's when visitors will be spoiled with beautiful scenery and can directly see the daily fishing activities that are located not far from the gas liquefaction plant PT Arun.


Ujong Blang Beach has been inaugurated in 2012 as one of the tourist destinations by the Ministry of Tourism RI. However, the beach that has long been a recreational destination for the people of Lhokseumawe, North Aceh and the central region of Aceh, still looks plain without the artistic touch of the architects. Nevertheless, the untouched coastal atmosphere of human development is characteristic of the purity of the natural environment..1. item
