PULAU SULUG

3.5 miles from Sutera Harbour

PULAU SULUG. 5° 57.558N, 115° 59.829E

This picturesque deep-water anchorage in 20 metres is suitable for snorkelling and lazing on the sandy spit located on the eastern side of the island. The spit rises sharply from 20 metres, so approach with care when anchoring. Shallower water can be found a short distance northwest. Southeast of the anchorage is a fringing reef suitable for snorkelling and diving. Pulau Sulug is quiet since it is not on the itinerary for day boats working out of Sutera Harbour.

Pandemic impact

The current edition was published just a few months before the Covid-19 pandemic started to bite. We have not attempted to update this online version (or the new ebook version) as some situations change rapidly, while others are subject to unverifiable rumour.

So, if you are cruising now, please verify information before setting out for your destination and please understand that amenities ashore may be less than posted here or in the book. As 'compensation', you'll find many islands and beaches in the kind of pristine condition not seen for many years in the more developed tourist destinations.
