STOPPING AT PULAU PASIR OFF LEEBONG ISLAND - PART TWO

28th OCTOBER 2019 ~ How large is the Pulau Pasir [translate: Sand Island]? I think it was smaller than half of a football field.

What can you find on the island? Two swings, one gazebo, a small volleyball court - and a field of fine, white sand on the island. It was so fine, you could see the small grains flying away as the wind blew smoothly.

What can you do on the island? Other than swimming in the sea of clear water, you could just sit down and enjoy nature at its best. And you should pose and take as many photos as possible, like you will be on the cover of Vogue magazine.

I wish we could stay longer but we still had another island to hop to.

This should be one of the places I wish I could make a comeback one day. I would just sit on the sand for hours while waiting for the high tide. Then I will get onto the boat and watch it submerge in the seawater and disappear. One day... one day...

STOPPING AT PULAU PASIR OFF LEEBONG ISLAND - PART ONE

 28th OCTOBER 2019 ~ The destination of the island hopping trip of the day was Leebong Island. To get there, we had to go first to Tanjung Rhu, where the Pegantungan Harbour is also located, and hop into a boat.

The boat ride was a pleasant one. The sea was calm and the wind was not strong. It was not as busy as the route from Tanjung Kelayang to Lengkuas Island. It seemed we were the only tourists on the cruise that day.

Sometimes we saw constructions built on the ocean for fishing activities. Back at home, it is called "kelong".

Suddenly, from afar, we saw this strip of land with white beach. We were told that was the "Pulau Pasir" [translate: Sand Island] which only appeared during low tide. We were already excited when we it was announced we would be stopping there to take photos.

Once the boat had reached the sandy part of the island, we jumped down and witnessed one magnificent wonder of nature. In front of our eyes was a piece of land with sand whiter that white.

We were first welcomed by these huge sea creatures in the water - live starfish.

It was time to take photos this heavenly place, with all kinds of poses possible, to be posted on social media so that friends who did not join us in this trip would be envious to no end.

More photos (of us) in the next entry.
