About Sulug Island
Sulug Island is the least visited island out of all five islands of Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park (TAR Marine Park) in Sabah, Malaysia, located the farthest from Kota Kinabalu City. Just like the other islands of TAR Marine Park, Sulug is adorned by beautiful beaches with crystal-clear blue sea water and corals perfect for both snorkelling and diving. The clear waters help snorkellers and divers to explore the marine life in Sulug Island better. The best diving and snorkelling spots are Keramat Reef and the Tyre coral reefs.
Curious visitors often wonder why this island only gets a minimal number of visits from the tourists. Sulug Island mostly receives the attention of nature lovers and photographers, who would like to witness and capture the unseen sight of the island personally. There are no development, accommodation or jetty on this island. Passengers will have to get off the boat and walk to get to the nearest shore. Camping is allowed on this island, but visitors will have to bring their tent and other necessary tools.
The best sight in Sulug Island can be witnessed by walking along the island to the edge of the beach before seeing a rare view of the sand carpeted by numerous corals and seashells. Sulug Island is an ideal place for a free-and-easy getaway. Having the island unoccupied most of the time, island exploration is easy within the island that feels privately owned.
