PULAU TINGGI

PULAU TINGGI

10 miles Tanjong Lehman

PULAU TINGGI. 2°17.384N, 104°06.037E

Pulau Tinggi is dramatically triangular from all angles because of its 650-metre extinct volcanic peak. It offers several good locations for anchorage, depending on wind conditions, in 5-8 metres all around the island just off the fringing reef.

We recommend the most sheltered spot to be found on the mid-west coast well offshore the resort jetty in 6-10 metres. The seasonal resort ashore has bungalows, a restaurant and some beach activities.

A half a mile southeast from our anchorage is the biggest concrete-poled fishing ‘Kelong’ in the region. The platform is well over 1,000 sqm and belongs to HRH the Sultan of Johor.

These wooden structures can be up to an acre and are suspended platforms sitting on thin tree-trunk pilings all tied together with polypropylene line.
