Neighbourhood guide

Nongsa

Quiet coast, resorts and mangroves in the north-east.

Nongsa is on Batam's quiet north-east coast, facing Singapore across the strait. It is where most of the island's resorts, golf courses and marinas are.

The pace is slower, the beaches are calmer and the Nongsapura ferry terminal makes it reachable without crossing the city.
