Description

Pulau Buro, a rocky cone-shaped island, lies in Sempitan Malaka (Malacca Passage), about 4 miles WNW of Ujung Baka (Pedropunt).

Caution is necessary when approaching the island during light winds, as the tidal currents set strongly over the surrounding reef.

A light is shown from the island.
