Pulau Lankayan, Sabah

Pulau Lankayan is a small resort island off Sandakan in Sabah. As with many of the other islands in Sabah, Pulau Lankayan is surrounded by coral reef teeming with marine life. Divers come to admire the many different types of anemones, spider crabs, nudibranchs, coral shrimps, seahorses, parrotfishes, rays, and other types of marine fauna. Occasionally, especially around March, divers may also spot the gigantic whale shark off the island.

On Pulau Lankayan itself are pandan screwpines and casuarina trees. There is one resort of the island, Lankayan Island Dive Resort (tel: 089 673999 in Sandakan, 089 765200 in Tawau, www.lankayan-island,com), established in 1997.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
