Niva Adara
Nieznający się na plażowaniu
Choć dojazd z głównej drogi może być nieco odległy, a stan drogi mógłby wymagać poprawy, sama plaża jest prawdziwym klejnotem. Jest nieskazitelna i dziewicza, z krystalicznie czystą wodą i miękkim piaskiem, który łatwo się chodzi. Nie tylko to, ale widok z plaży jest absolutnie zapierający dech w piersiach, z orzeźwiającym i chłodnym wiatrem, który sprawi, że poczujesz się zrelaksowany. Pomimo niewielkiego niedogodzenia drogi, plaża zdecydowanie jest warta podróży i jest obowiązkowym miejscem dla każdego, kto szuka ucieczki od zgiełku codziennego życia.
This beach is located at Kelurahan Rempang Cate, Kecamatan Galang (after Barelang 4th Bridge). If you start from Barelang 1st Bridge (Jembatan Tengku Fisabilillah) just follow the main road and after you passed the 4th bridge (around 10-15 mins) keep your eyes on the right side of the road you would find Pantai Tiga Putri signboard.
I visited here on November 1st, 2020
The way to get there from the main road (Jl. Trans Barelang) hasn't been paved yet, so you would expect along the way to get there still with red soil and a lil bit muddy and also few of extreme uphills and downhills.
The entrance fee is 10K rupiah/person and no parking fee (by car). Like every common old-styled beach in Batam, there isn't many available options of water sports/activities (what I know for sure it has banana boat which cost you 25K rupiah/person).
Pantai Tiga Putri has several gazebos lined the coast (I think you have to rent it). It also has few spots of toilets which you have to pay around 2-5K rupiah (depends on for taking shower or pee/poop). If you forget to bring any foods and drinks there, don't worry there's also a few canteens stand by and i think the price is reasonable.
The beach itself is facing south-west so you still can witness the sunset at north-east side from the beach. I came here around 2pm (still high tide) that's why the water is brown. But the sand is white and smooth. There's also a lot of mangrove trees growing on the seaside.
What is very unfortunate are many irresponsible visitors who littering along the beach. I think the beach is still new and the management is poor because the rules aren't strict enough even I find myself hardly to find a trash can.
Tips: come here at evening around 4pm (low tide) and the sea water is crystal clear. I think you would have a sunset view if the sky is clear.
