This beautiful island is located just off-shore from Sandakan. The water was as clear as the sky and if you drop a 50cents coin from the jetty, you can see the coin went down sparklingly to the bottom of the sea, even at the depth of more than 20 feet.
At the cafe we were entertained with the cafe-keeper feeding the juvenile-sharks at the shallow part of the shore. The island was very windy when we did the visit and the cool sea-breeze was indeed very refreshing. Most of the frontal part facing the jetty were very bushy with the 'mengkuang' plants. That was nice because they still maintain the original jungle even though there was a resort built there.
The island was small and took us only a few minutes to cross to the other side. We were brought to the northern part of the island where we could see the Indonesian islands just a few kilometers away. So this beautiful island was very close to the international border.
