Little Bakkungaan Island, Protected marine area in Sabah, Malaysia
Little Bakkungaan Island spans 8.5 hectares of flat, tropical terrain surrounded by sandy beaches and the waters of the Sulu Sea.
A 1930 treaty between the United States and the United Kingdom established Little Bakkungaan Island as a reference point for international borders with the Philippines.
The island forms part of the Malaysian Turtle Islands National Park, where rangers protect and monitor sea turtle nesting sites throughout the year.
Park facilities include a turtle hatchery, staff accommodation buildings, and a pier that facilitates access for conservation personnel and researchers.
The island stands as Malaysia's closest territory to the Philippines, separated by only 2 kilometers of water from Great Bakkungaan Island.
