BELITUNG Belitung is an island located off the east coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, flanked by the Gaspar Strait and the Karimata Strait. The island is well-known for its white pepper—referred to locally as *sahang*—and for various mineral resources, including tin, quartz sand, white clay, and granite. In recent times, it has also emerged as an alternative destination for nature-based tourism. Its main town is Tanjung Pandan.
