Long ago, a group of fishermen from Terengganu stopped at a small village near the River Sari estuary, north of Mersing for supplies.

The island is a fisherman's best-kept secret. Its other magnetic charms include endless stretches of white sandy beaches and awesome snorkeling spots.

The old name of the beach is Pantai Pasir Lanun (Pirates' Sandy Beach) because pirates chose the beach as their hideout due to its calm coast and the availability of fresh water.

Mersing Jetty is the preferred staging point for the northern and eastern clusters of islands whereas the southern cluster of islands should be accessed via Tanjung Leman jetty.
