Pulau Pamutusan, located in the Pinang River area of West Sumatra, Indonesia, is a serene and picturesque island. It boasts a modest stretch of beach with pale golden sand, offering ideal conditions for relaxing strolls and sunbathing. The island's unique feature is that it appears to be split in two during high tide, inspired by the Minang term 'Pamutusan' meaning 'cut off'. This phenomenon, combined with its crystal-clear waters, makes it a haven for nature lovers and those seeking a tranquil getaway.
The island offers a range of activities including snorkeling, exploring coral reefs teeming with colorful marine life, and hiking to the top of its lush interior to enjoy breathtaking views. Despite its serene appeal, visitors should be prepared for limited amenities on the island itself.
