Sandy beach

While in the evening the beach turns into one big party with fire shows and overflowing plates of seafood, during the day it's one of the best beaches on the island to…

Sandy beach

A small cove on the smaller of the two islands serves as the gateway to the island. Here you will find a large pier, a number of accommodations, restaurants and dive agencies. The beach is also suitable for swimming, but there are a lot of boats around the beach, so the water is not as clear as in other parts of the archipelago. Coral Bay is where most of the snorkelling trips leave from, and there are also many diving trips from here. [btn …

Village

The village on the south side of Pulau Kecil is basically the only real settlement on the islands and offers the cheapest accommodation and food in the whole archipelago. It's definitely worth a trip here for at least one evening. You also shouldn't miss the sight of the iconic floating mosque, which you can see from the boat as you cross between the islands.

Sandy beach

A pleasant beach on the south side of the smaller of the islands. The beach is very accessible from Fisherman Village.

Sandy beach

The bay on the south side of the large island offers a stay on a pristine beach with clear water and fine sand. The cove is relatively cut off from the other tourist spots on the islands, so it offers a greater sense of peace and solitude. Unfortunately, Flora Bay has been experiencing an influx of trash in recent years, so expect the beach to be less than pristine.

Sandy beach

Tuna Bay is a pleasant beach on the western side of the larger of the islands. It is one of the very popular beaches for day trips, as there are no accommodations right next to the beach. During the day the beach can be a bit crowded, but if you come here in the off-season or in the morning/evening, you can enjoy this beautiful piece of the tropics on your own.
