Bagus Bay, Samosir Island

Bagus Bay, Samosir Island (30 April 2006)


Bagus Bay (GPS: 2.66917, 98.85608) is a scenic bay on the south side of the isthmus connecting Tuk Tuk Peninsula with the rest of Samosir Island. There are a few guesthouses, locally referred to as losmen, at Bagus Bay, as well as a handful of budget restaurants.

At Bagus Bay, tourist can experience the everyday life in Samosir, as it is within a short walking distance from the paddy fields. I explored Bagus Bay on foot, walking from Silintong Hotel Samosir at the eastern tip of Tuk Tuk. It was a Sunday morning and I saw people walking towards a village church, which is the Gereja Katolik Santu Alfonsus.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
