Weekend gateaway to Ritting Beach

I would never guess there is a beach call Ritting. At first I thought my friend typed it wrong, it might be rafting or anything else. Then what make me more surprise, it's more than normal beach in that area

Seumur-umur saya belum pernah dengar nama pantai Ritting. Awalnya malah sempat mikir kalau si teman typo, ntah mungkin maksudnya rafting atau apalah. Pas udah sampai di sana, surprise lagi, lah kok cakep, kok agak beda dengan pantai yang ada di kawasan ini

This afternoon, me and some other friends went to Ritting Beach somewhere in Aceh Besar region. The beach is closed enough to PT. SAI, around 30-40 minutes ride by motorcycle from Banda Aceh. After more than an hour late for our appointment, we finally arrived in the beach

Siang tadi, saya ngikutin bang Ucok aka @kakilasak , Yasir aka @yasir.mogerz , Aan aka @orcheva , Alva aka @alvapurba17 , chyn aka @aryatia , Akmal dan Kiki ke pantai Ritting. Lokasinya gak terlalu jauh dari PT. SAI, kira-kira dengan motor dapat ditempuh dalam 30-40 menitan kalau dari Banda Aceh.

Setelah janjian molor sejam-an, akhirnya nyampe juga kita di sana.

The beach can be reach easily, but due to the small sign, somehow you might miss it and can’t find the way. I’ve been going in this route, but never realize there was the sign somewhere. You need another 5-7 minutes ride to get to the beach. It almost empty in compare to some other beaches. It might be a good choice to have private party with your family, or hammocking with your friend - as what we have planned but couldn’t make it as it was then raining, or you could just go for fishing

Lokasi pantai ini cukup dekat dengan pantai yang sering kita kunjungi. Tapi, karena petunjuk arah ke pantainya yang kurang mencolok, bahkan walaupun sudah sering melewati jalan iyu, baru kali ini nemuin petunjuknya.

Untuk sampai ke lokasi pantai, kita masih harus berkendara sekitar 5-7 menit, baru kelihatan pantainya. Lokasinya cukup nyaman untuk sekedar kumpul-kumpul keluarga, hammockan - kayak yang kita rencanain dari awal, atau untuk mancing. Apalagi pantainya terbilang sepi dibandingkan pantai-pantai lain di wilayah ini.

What make this beach little bit special then the rest within this area is the view it has. Stones all around - where people do fishing here, it has small high land, you would have a nice view from there, definitely. But do not climb when you wear skirt :p , and the view around here is mostly mountains

Yang membuat pantai ini lebih spesial dibandingkan dengan pantai lainnya adalah pemandangan yang bisa ditemukan di sini. Bebatuan di sudut pantai - orang-orang pada mancing di sini, ada bukit kecil yang bisa didaki - tapi pastikan gak pakai rok pas mau keatas ya, bahaya soalnya hehe. Kalau biasanya di pantai viewnya laut lepas, di sini lebih banyak bukit-bukitnya. Adem mata lihat yang hijau-hijau.

Also, you could see people doing kite surfing. People here actually foreigner haha. We saw today how they played around with the waves and kite, they brought all the equipments. So if you feel like playing this, you should bring your own because you won't find people renting it - at least that what I know

Nah.. ada juga yang memanfaatkan lokasi ini untuk main kite surfing . Walaupun yang main semuanya bule, mereka bahkan bawa semua perlengkapan sendiri. Kalau memang pada mau main, bawa aja perlengkapan, karena kayaknya gak ada yang menyewakan. Setidaknya itu yang saya tau.
