Undan Island
Group of two uninhabited islets off the coast of Malacca in Malaysia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Undan Island (translated as Pelican Island, Malay: Pulau Undan) is a group of two uninhabited islets located 25 kilometres (16 mi) off the coast of Malacca in Malaysia. The larger islet houses a lighthouse built in 1880 by the British and a communication tower made of concrete, both forbidden to the public. It is connected to the smaller islet, which is accessible by foot during low tide, by a tombolo.[1][2] The islet is surrounded by a variety of corals, rocks and sandy beaches and is solely reachable by boat.[3][4] People mainly visit there for activities like camping, fishing, hiking, scuba diving, snorkeling and swimming.[5][6]
