Besides Batu Garuda Island, there is also Lengkuas Island, which is located not far from Tanjung Kelayang. Even so close, we can come to this island via the 'sand bridge' at low tide on foot. But if the tide is high then you can't help but have to take a boat. Located on Lengkuas Island we can find a Dutch lighthouse built in 1882. The name of Lengkuas Island itself comes from a play on the word "lighhouse" which is the name of the lighthouse in Dutch. So don't think the name of Galangal is because there are a lot of galangal plants here. Now because there is a lighthouse building with a height of 62 meters, then you on this Lengkuas Island can go up to the top. Arriving at the top of the lighthouse you will be able to enjoy the view of Tanjung Kelayang and its beautiful and enchanting surroundings.

Because on this Batu Berlayar Island we can find two granite rocks that are shaped or tangible like a ship that stretches sails. Actually there are some other granite rocks that we can find here, like there are shaped like teeth and shark fins. But these two unique granite stones are indeed very prominent and most interesting. This is because in addition to its shape, these two granite rocks also have the largest size.

Called Sand Island because this island only consists of white sand. This island which is also called Gusong itself only appears and can be visited when the sea water is really receding. But when the tide is rising, the Sand Island will disappear and disappear into the water. Because it only appears when the sea water is receding, this Sand Island also calls the magical island. Although only in the form of white sand, but here you will get a lot of interesting things. The first interesting thing, of course, is the very fine and soft white sand.
