Sumpat
Spend a half‑day at Sumpat's beaches and kelong, then return; no need to stay overnight.
Sumpat is a quiet stretch of white‑sand beach on Bintan's north coast, best enjoyed in a few hours for sun, fishing sights and a short boat ride to Pulau Sumpat. Limited services mean a day visit from nearby Bintan Resorts or Tanjung Pinang is sufficient.
