Neighbourhood guide

Barelang

Bridges, islands and long drives south.

Barelang is the chain of islands south of Batam — Batam, Rempang and Galang — linked by a series of bridges. The first bridge has become the island's most photographed landmark.

Beyond the bridges the roads get quieter, with beaches, seafood stops and island scenery. You will want a car or driver for the day.
