Description

Pulau Pandang (3°25'N., 99°45'E.) is almost entirely surrounded by a coral reef with some above-water rocks. A foul area was reported to lie about 9 miles E of the island.
A light is shown from Pulau Pandang.

The island is hilly and covered with virgin forest, nice for small treks. There is no formal accommodation, only the staff of a navy post and a lighthouse. The best place for fishing.

Caution.—A pipe was reported to lie in position 3°25.5'N, 99°59.3'E, approximately 16 miles ENE of Pulau Pandang.
