The Karimun Islands consist of Great Karimun (Pulau Karimunbesar), Little
Karimun (Pulau Karimun Ketjil), and a number of off-lying islets.
They differ in character from the low marshy islands of the E coast of Sumatera,
being hilly with fertile soil, and are well-populated. They are surrounded by reefs
and shoals, many of which are completely or partly dry.

They are located just off the E coast of Sumatra, guarding the southern entrance
of the busy Straits of Malacca.

Karimun Besar is a small island in the Riau Islands. It lies west of Batam and
to the southwest of Singapore and is the furthest west of the Riau Islands.
Karimun Besar or Great Karimun, is mountainous at its N end, the principal peaks
being Betina, 416m high standing 1.75 miles SW of the N extremity, and Djantan,
453m high, about 1.25 miles S of Betina. The S end of the island, except near
Tanjung Balai, consists of low, swampy ground.

The surrounding islets are rocky and thickly overgrown.
On the E side of Great Karimun, a bay is formed between Tanjung Bula Kasap,
the NE point of the island, and Tanjung Sebatak, about 5 miles SSE. This bay is
fouled by a shallow mud bank which extends about 1 mile offshore, out to the line
of its entrance points.
Its main town, Tanjung Balai is a bustling port town with a lot of commerce,
boosted by tourists from Singapore and Malaysia, however, it must not be
confused with Tanjung Balai in North Sumatra province, a much larger city also
known as Tanjung Balai Asahan and an international port. However, like Batam
and Bintan, Karimun is also listed as a Free Trade Zone area.

Karimun Kecil or Little Karimun, separated from the NE side of Great Karimun
by a deep channel about 0.5 mile wide, is a bold island, 377m high.
In the NW approach to the channel between Great Karimun and Little Karimun
are two islets, Nangoi, 39m high, about 1.2 miles W of the NW end of Little
Karimun,and Tantun, a fairly steep-to islet, about 1 mile SW of Nangoi.
In the channel close to the SW side of Little Karimun is an above-water rock,

Pongkar beach is a long beach with
an area of approximately 100 hectares,
with pine trees scattered around the
beach area.
During the Southwest Monsoon good
anchorage can be taken
off the E
side of Great Karimun, to the SE of Little Karimun, over a bottom of
stiff gray mud with good holding ground.
The depths over the bank
fronting this anchorage range from 8.2 to 9.1m and have to be crossed to
get to the anchorage area.
A designated anchorage area has been
established in the waters E of Great Karimun just S of the eastbound
traffic separation lane. All vessels anchoring in this area should
comply with the port procedures.

Selat Gelam, the passage between the S end of Great Karimun and the N end
of Pulau Kondur, is used by local craft trading between Singapore and the islands
to the SW.
The passage at its E end is about 3 miles wide but about 6 miles to the W the
channel is divided into two channels by Pulau Babi.
The S channel has greater depths but it is fouled by more shoals. Neither channel
is buoyed.
