Located in the Province of Bangka Belitung Islands, this beautiful island sits north of Tanjung Kelayang Beach in Sijuk District, Belitung Regency. As one of the hundreds of small islands surrounding Belitung, Pulau Lengkuas has become a favorite attraction for travelers seeking tropical beauty, history, and marine adventure.
The main highlight of Pulau Lengkuas is its iconic old lighthouse, built by the Dutch Colonial government in 1882. This historic lighthouse remains operational today, continuing to guide ships passing through or entering the waters of Belitung. Visitors can climb to the top of the lighthouse and enjoy spectacular panoramic views of the turquoise sea, granite islands, and endless horizon.
For travelers who love photography, the lighthouse offers one of the best scenic spots in Belitung. The combination of historic architecture and natural beauty creates a truly memorable experience.
Pulau Lengkuas is also famous for its giant granite boulders, powdery white sand, and exceptionally clear seawater. The island is relatively small and can be explored on foot in around 20 minutes, making it a perfect destination for a half-day trip.
The calm waters surrounding the island are ideal for swimming, relaxing, or simply enjoying the tropical atmosphere. Visitors often spend time sunbathing on the beach while taking in the peaceful surroundings.
For adventure seekers, Pulau Lengkuas is one of the best spots in Belitung for snorkeling and diving. Beneath the surface, travelers can discover colorful coral reefs, tropical fish, and rich marine biodiversity. There is also the famous Indomarine wreck, which attracts divers looking for a unique underwater exploration experience.
The lighthouse keeper on the island is also known for caring for green sea turtles, adding another special attraction to this eco-friendly destination.
Getting to Pulau Lengkuas is easy. Visitors can rent a local boat from Tanjung Binga or Tanjung Kelayang, two popular departure points for island-hopping tours in Belitung. The short boat journey offers stunning ocean views and is part of the adventure itself.
