Pantai Batuhoda — Attraction in North Sumatra

I absolutely enjoyed this place! Samosir island itself has majestic views of the lake but coming here was awhile different experience. There are 3 big differences why this place is perfect for you and your family.

One, the water here is not salty like the oceans since it’s a lake. Kids can easily swim in pristine clear fresh waters.

Two, there are no big waves to worry about despite it can get windy at times. The waves made by the winds are like baby waves.

No loud music, only occasional announcements. The beach is centrally/properly managed and is well maintained. Hardly any rubbish. If I ever visit Samosir again, this is the only beach I would...
