The island is famous for its 'ikan bilis' (anchovies) and squids. The real attraction here however are the enchanting beaches on the western coastline Pantai Puteri Dewi, Teluk Belanga, Teluk Nipah and Pasir Bogak. Among these, the quiet coves and untrodden bays at Tortoise Bay, Teluk Nipah and Teluk Chempedak are marvelous for swimming or just basking in the sun, in complete privacy amidst tranquil surroundings.
The currency used is called the Ringgit Malaysia (RM).
