Pasumpahan Island
Pulau Pasumpahan
A small offshore island with fine white sand and clear water, good for snorkeling and hiking a small hill for sea views. It is one of the most popular island-hopping stops from Padang.
Pasumpahan Island lies off Bungus Bay. From Bungus Pier on the southern outskirts of Padang, the boat ride takes about 30 to 40 minutes. The island has gently sloping white sand beaches, and the coral near the shore is good for snorkeling. A small hill in the middle of the island offers views of the nearby islands of Sikuai and Pagang. Facilities are basic, with snack stalls and snorkeling gear rental. It is often combined with Pagang Island and Sikuai Island in a one-day island-hopping trip. Bring sunscreen and cash.
