The environment is nice but there are no special activities. It takes 40 minutes to get here from the center of Batam. It was a bit hot so we stayed for a while and then left.

Nongsa Beach is one of the cleanest beaches in Batam, the sand is soft and not mixed with much coral. It's also close to the main road, so access isn't confusing. Likewise with the bathing facilities, rinsing area, everything is good and well maintained. It's just that the entrance fee is quite expensive, for ordinary people, it's a bit difficult to get in here. #silentreviewer
