Undan Island (translated as Pelican Island, ms|Pulau Undan) is a group of two uninhabited islets located 25km (16miles) off the coast of Malacca in Malaysia. The larger islet houses a lighthouse built in 1880 by the British and a communication tower made of concrete, both forbidden to the public. It is connected to the smaller islet, which is accessible by foot during low tide, by a tombolo.^{[1] [2]} The islet is surrounded by a variety of corals, rocks and sandy beaches and is solely reachable by boat.^{[3] [4]} People mainly visit there for activities like camping, fishing, hiking, scuba diving, snorkeling and swimming.^{[5] [6]}
