This island is located at west sumatra province, Indonesia. To reach this island, you can rent boat from muara-Padang, last sommer it's about 60 euro pro tag. Or you can use bus to 'kabupaten Pesisir selatan' and from there find a fishermann to take you to the island. For me it's really amazing island. No inhabitant, quiet, white sand, clear water. At eastern part of island you can swimming. Not at the western part where there's strong wave break into the land. Although it is depth enough but It is really good for swimming and after that lying on the white sand beach. No one will disturb you except mosquitos during the night. Well yes you can do camping in this island. But don't forget to bring 'autan' to keep you away from the mosquitos. In the morning you can fishing. When the low tide than you can go around along the beach to the western part to the island. But however just be carreful to coming back to the eastern part before the high tide. otherwise you won't know when you have to comeback..

You won't find coral here. But you can just go closer to the south around half an hour then you will find Marak island. There, you will still can find good living coral. But don't forget for asking permition. Since Marak island is a conservation area. ..

There is no cottage in Sironjong and i hope they never been there..For staying you can just go to Sikuwai island which is around fifteen minute by boat. In Sikuwai you will find cottage..

Neverforget Sironjong island when you have a chance going to west sumatra..i've been there for three times but i always want to comeback there someday..
