About Derawan Island
This island is so tiny till you can easily walk circling it in only about 20 minutes. The land - across all the village - is mostly covered by white soft sand, just like on the beach. Fresh water is also abundant since the locals state that they need only to dig around 1.5m - 2m to get an unlimited supplies of water. This perhaps is another reason why Derawan becomes dense in population.
