For boats
The Belitung anchorage is calm and well protected during the SE monsoon season. In NW season is also
usable, but it is better to hide around the corners one of small rocky islands.
This is one of the better and most beautiful
stops along the main Indonesian cruising route, do not miss it.
FORMALITIES
Belitung is a port of entry/exit and some yachts choose to check out of Indonesia and obtain clearance here. The best way is to hire a local agent which will take care of all formalities for reasonable price. Ask for it in the nearest restaurant to the wharf.
APPROACH
The final approach is between some Reefs, but they are marked well with discoloration and the water is clear. I do not recommend night approach.
Below few waypoints we followed:
1) 002 29.57 S / 107 40.86 E
2) 002 31.31 S / 107 40.44 E
3) 002 32.78 S / 107 40.79 E
anchorage) 002 33.31 S / 107 40.65 E
You can approach closer to the beach, but you have to sail around small reef (clockwise).
ANCHORAGE
Drop the anchor at position:
002 33.31 S / 107 40.65 E (6 meters, sand)
There is a place for 10-20 boats. The anchorage is protected in the SE monsoon season. Winds sometimes swing in the afternoons to a more easterly direction bringing chop through the anchorage before calming again at night.
Electronic charts are inaccurate there. Eyeball navigation is a must.
DINGHY LANDING
Head to the wharf. Land dinghy to left or right of the jetty. You can tie a line to the wharf's pillar. You can also land anywhere on the beach.
PROVISIONING
Small provisioning can be done in nearest town, bigger groceries you can find in the main city. You can rent a car with driver - ask in the restaurants.
FUEL, WATER, LAUNDRY, GAS
Fuel, food, and water as well as propane and laundry services available in most of the
restaurants.
Ervan Amir and his wife operate a beachfront restaurant in Tg Kelayang. They provides diesel, water, provisions on request. Very helpful and friendly, Ervan speaks English. Land dinghy to left of jetty and restaurant is next to the head of the jetty. Phone 081977781455.

For crews
Giant
granite boulders are piled on top of one
another and scattered around the shoreline and anchorage. Do a dinghy trip
around, take a swim close to the rocky islands. The water is crystal clear and
the beaches are with white sand. There
are many small islets for diving and snorkeling, where coral reefs and fish
life are healthy and abundant.
