Pulau Puhawang, Coastal island in Pesawaran, Indonesia.
Located at the mouth of Teluk Ratai bay, this 1,084-hectare island features northern beaches and extensive mangrove forests along its coastline.
The island's history dates to the 1700s when Nokoda arrived, followed by Hawang from China, leading to its name derived from Hawang's daughter.
The island population resides in six distinct villages: Suak Buah, Penggetahan, Jeralangan, Kalangan, Pahawang, and Cukuh Nyai, each maintaining local traditions.
Visitors reach the island via speedboat from Dermaga Ketapang port, with a journey time of 30 minutes from the mainland of Lampung.
The island contains two sections: inhabited Pahawang Besar and the smaller 13-hectare uninhabited Pahawang Kecil with protected marine areas.
