Batam 🏖️ 🛥️

We arrived in Batam to the scent of the sea and the hum of scooters, where wide skies and water views greeted us at every turn. Mornings were spent strolling along the quiet coastline, watching fishermen cast their nets and sipping kopi by the jetty. The pace was slower here, and that was exactly what we needed time to exhale and just let the day unfold. 🌊🚤☕ A short boat ride brought us to Bintan, where the water turned clearer and the air carried the faint scent of salt and pine. We wandered through tiny villages and stopped by an empty beach lined with coconut trees, where the only sound was waves brushing against the shore. Lunch was fresh seafood grilled by the water simple, smoky, and unforgettable. 🏝️🐚🐟 Back in Batam, we explored hidden warungs and local markets, picking up handmade crafts and trying pandan desserts from roadside stalls. Evenings were breezy and golden, and as the sky shifted into soft pastel tones, we realized these islands didn’t just offer a break they offered a reset. 🛶🍃🌅 #batamguide #travel #thingstodo
