Check before you go
- Park hours on weekdays are 11:00-17:00. However, for a sunset plan, you may need to confirm if the park extends hours for evening visitors or if the '17:00' closing refers to last entry. The context states 'weekdays 11:00-17:00', which might conflict with a sunset plan at 18:31. If the park closes at 17:00, this plan may not be feasible on weekdays. Check if they allow access for sunset viewing or if the hours are different for the beach area specifically. For weekends, it is 09:00-18:30, which aligns better with the sunset time.
- Transport: Take a rental car, private car, or mini bus (sudako) at Jalan MT. Haryono (in front of Medan Mall) to Perbaungan city, then a machine trishaw to the beach.
