Sibolga Bay


Sibolga Bay is a natural harbour on the west coast of North Sumatra, Sumatra, Indonesia. It is named after the city of Sibolga which is located inside of the bay.
There are a few islands in the bay, one of which was formerly the site of a fort controlled by the English and the Dutch.

Tsunamis

The area is relatively exposed to tsunamis. An alleged tsunami of November 13, 1925 is debated. The December 26, 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami hit the area hard.
