Pulau Bunta (S P Nasi)

→ Indian Ocean → Andaman sea → North coast of Sumatra (Indonesia)

Characteristics

Description

Pulau Bunta (Pulau Boenta) lies between Aroih Raya and Aroih Cut (Aroih Tjoet).
Pulo Bunta is the least interesting of the bigger islands in Pulo Aceh. It has a light house and a few beaches, but difficult to swim due to the barrier reefs and strong currents. There are no people living here except the lighthouse staff.

A vessel approaching from the S should give the W point of Pulau Bunta a berth of at least 1 mile. When the N point of that island bears 090°, pass N, and then NE.
