Tanjung Babi Anchorage

Tanjung Babi is a sheltered anchorage on the western side of Batam, where you drop the hook and settle in among the quiet coastal scenery typical of Indonesia's Riau Islands. The surrounding mangrove-fringed shoreline gives it a tucked-away feel, well removed from the bustle of Batam's busier ferry corridors. It's a straightforward overnight stop with reasonable holding ground, useful when you're threading through the Singapore Strait and need a calm layover on the Indonesian side.
