**Undan Island** (translated as Pelican Island, [Malay](/source/Malay_language): *Pulau Undan*) is a group of two uninhabited [islets](/source/Islet) located 25 kilometres (16 mi) off the coast of [Malacca](/source/Malacca) in [Malaysia](/source/Malaysia). The larger islet houses [a lighthouse](/source/Undan_Island_Lighthouse) built in 1880 by the British and a communication tower made of concrete, both forbidden to the public. It is connected to the smaller islet, which is accessible by foot during low tide, by a [tombolo](/source/Tombolo).[1][2] The islet is surrounded by a variety of corals, rocks and sandy beaches and is solely reachable by boat.[3][4] People mainly visit there for activities like camping, fishing, hiking, scuba diving, snorkeling and swimming.[5][6]

On 4 April 2023, Undan Island alongside nearby Nangka and Dodol Islands are gazetted as a national marine park.[7]
