About

Pelumpong Island (Malay: Pulau Pelumpong), formerly known as the Tanjong Pelumpong sand spit, is an artificial island located in Brunei Bay within the Brunei–Muara District, southwest of Bandar Seri Begawan. Situated near the southern entrance to Brunei Bay, the island is characterised by its dramatic sandy formation. Pelumpong Island supports a thriving coral ecosystem, home to 34 identified scleractinian coral taxa, contributing to its ecological significance in the region.
