About Bangka Island

Bangka Island lies off the east coast of Sumatra and is the main island of Indonesia's Bangka Belitung Islands province, with its capital Pangkalpinang.

Cruise ships visit Parai Beach near Sungailiat in the north-east of the island, about 30 km north of Pangkalpinang, a white sand beach framed by large granite boulders and clear water, with a beach resort behind it.

There is no cruise pier: ships anchor offshore and guests are brought to the beach by local landing craft. Calls are rare and made by small ships.
