Daerah Yan has several islands out in the sea.
Pulau Bunting, Pulau Telor, Pulau Song-Song, Pulau Bidan.
Pulau Bunting now is connected via a non accessible bridge to Sg Limau.
It has a few nice small beaches, and northwest tip has fresh water.
Lots of sea urchin (bulu babi)
Pulau Song-Song has a small military camp and is sometimes not accessible when there is militairy 'testing'.
It has a nice wide beach, a man made well (dirty), and on the west side a big cave with lots of bats, lizards and snakes.
Inside very hot (over 40 degrees).
Do not swimm without slippers! Bulu babi here and there.
Pulau Bidan use to have a militairy camp, this is now abandoned.
There was talk of developing it, but so far not a trace. It has a beach on the east side.
But strong currents might be dangerous.
It has an old Muslim grave of Syeikh Abdul Rashid which is also frequented by chinese for some reason.
Pulau Telor is by far my favourite. It has a great sandy beach overshadowed by huge trees.
The beach might change after every storm, but due to the sandy bottom, no bulu babi!
Nice for a day swim and picnic.
Song-Song and Telor can be accessed via Kuala Sg Yan or Sungai Udang (about 40 mins trip), they might charge you anything from 2-300 ringgit for a day trip.
Bidan is accessible via Singkir Laut (about 1/2 hour), but i have no idea what the charge.
Do not go camping during the monsoon season, heavy winds might make it difficult to return.
If you go, do not pollute, already more than enough rubbish swept in by the sea!
