Car
If you are driving from Pekanbaru, the capital of Riau, head north on Jalan Lintas Sumatera (Trans-Sumatra Highway) towards Rokan Hulu. Continue on this road for approximately 120 kilometers. Once you reach the town of Rokan IV Koto, look for signs directing you to Lubuk Bendahara Timur. Pantai Rengas is located at the coordinates MFPM+36R, which is near the beach area. You may need to ask locals for specific directions as the last stretch may not be well-marked. Ensure that your vehicle has enough fuel, as gas stations may be sparse along the way.
Public Transportation (Bus)
From Pekanbaru, take a bus from the terminal (Terminal AKAP) heading towards Rokan Hulu. The bus ride will take approximately 3-4 hours depending on traffic. Once you arrive in Rokan IV Koto, you can take a local minibus or 'angkot' towards Lubuk Bendahara Timur. Inform the driver that you are going to Pantai Rengas. The fare for the bus is usually around IDR 50,000 to IDR 100,000. The angkot fare will be much lower, around IDR 10,000 to IDR 20,000.
Motorbike Taxi (Ojek)
If you are already in Rokan IV Koto and need to cover the last part of your journey to Pantai Rengas, consider hiring a motorbike taxi (ojek). You can find ojek drivers near the bus terminal or ask locals for recommendations. The fare for the ride to Pantai Rengas should be negotiated, but it typically ranges from IDR 20,000 to IDR 50,000 depending on your starting point within Rokan IV Koto.
