Pulau Sibu is one of Malaysia's unspoilt islands off the Peninsula's East Coast, facing the South China Sea. It is made up of several islands namely Sibu Besar Island, Sibu Tengah Island, Sibu Kukus Island and Sibu Hujung Island.
Approximately 6 km long and 1 km wide, the island abounds with lush tropical vegetation, and is noted for its beaches, hills, cliffs and exotic bird population.
On the Southern end there is a small fishing village with a population of less than a hundred people. The local village continues to make a living from the seas and a few of the younger generation choose to work at the nearby resorts for a steadier income and a change of lifestyle .
Sibu has retained much of its natural beauty and tranquility.
The main leisure activities on the island are snorkelling and diving.
