Peucang Island
Pulau Peucang
The most popular island in Ujung Kulon, where white sand, clear water and primeval rainforest meet. It is the park's main lodging and snorkeling base.
Peucang Island lies off the northwest side of the peninsula. It has basic accommodations run by the national park, and most two-day, one-night or three-day, two-night itineraries use the island as a base. The white sand beach has clear water, and you can snorkel near the pier. The forest is home to deer, long-tailed macaques, wild boar and giant banyan trees with buttress roots, and animals often wander near the lodging area in the evening. Boats from Sumur or Tamanjaya take about 2–3 hours. You must pay the park entrance fee and hire a guide. The island has no shops, so food and drinking water are provided by boat crews or the camp. Watch out for monkeys stealing food.
