  What's interesting about this island is the bird-shaped stone which I think is really cool especially for photo spots. I think the beach is more interesting than the beach on Lengkuas island, the island is also bigger. If you want to find a cool beach that is really untouch and quiet try to the beach on the west side, walk for about 10 minutes.
