The uninhabited Nusa Barung Island off the southern coast of East Java stands as one of Indonesia's outer islands that remains largely undiscovered.
You might rarely hear the name Nusa Barung or Nusa Barong, largely because this pristine island is completely uninhabited. Nusa Barung is an offshore island located south of mainland Java, administratively nestled within Puger District, Jember Regency, East Java. It stands as one of Indonesia's registered outermost islands facing the open expanse of the Indian Ocean.
To visit Nusa Barung, you can charter a traditional fishing boat from the Puger fishing harbor. The island lies approximately 5 kilometers offshore from Puger harbor, which in turn can be easily reached by intercity bus from the center of Jember.
