SABANG is a compact and pretty little town with plenty of quaint colonial architecture. On the main street, Jalan Perdagangan, there's a small post office , a Telkom office next door (with Home Dialling Direct phones), a BRI bank and exchange, four losmen, a hotel and some restaurants. There's also Weh's only diving shop , the Stingray Dive Centre, Jl Teuku Umar 3 (tel 0652/21265), which does diving courses and an underwater photography workshop (US$100), sells secondhand books and rents motorbikes (Rp20,000 per day). Of the losmen , the Irma (tel 0652/21148; $5-10) and Pulau Jaya (tel 0652/21344; $5-10), at nos. 3 and 17 on Jalan Teuku Umar, are the two most popular choices with travellers, though they are both basic and noisy. The Sabang Marauke (tel 0652/21928; $5-10), on Jalan Seulawah, a side road opposite the Irma, is cheaper, friendlier and quieter. All lie within 200m of the bus stop in Sabang, opposite the Irma. The Dynasty, Jl Perdagangan 54, serves the best food - try their cumi goreng (fried squid) for Rp6500. Harry's, the cafe below the Irma, is the main travellers' cafe in Sabang and serves excellent pancakes.
