There are several tourism destinations in Belawan; one of them is Siba Island. This Island is located in Sei Baharu Village, Hamparan Perak District, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra.

Initially, this location was a fish farming area, which was the main livelihood of the local residents in Belawan. However, a local resident named Syarifuddin Siba took the initiative to manage the place to be a tourist-friendly area. The island then became popularly known as Siba Island. The facilities on this island are quite complete, such as a water park, restaurant, and even a resortoraccommodation. There is also a hall room to accommodate various corporate and social events. At Siba Island, you can enjoy the rare mangrove forest scenery and engage in various water activities, such as speed boating, banana boating, or simply fishing on the calm seaside.

To reach Siba Island, you can depart from the special pier of Siba Island Resort located on Jl. Serma Hanafiah Belawan, next to Marina Restaurant. Speed boats are provided by the Siba Island management at a rate of Rp70,000 or 4,32 US dollar, for a round trip, taking about 30 minutes. During the trip to the island, you can enjoy the stunning green views, especially the mangrove forest that grows along the coast.
