The Banyak Islands (sometimes spelled Banjak Islands) are a group of inhabited islands located between Simeulue and Nias off the western coast of Sumatra in Indonesia's Aceh Province. Surveys of the area approximate around 71 islands and additional mangrove stands in shallow off-shore areas, although locals count 99 islands.[1] The largest island in the group is Tuangku, with the principal village of Haloban on its southwest coast. Two other major islands located either side of Tuangku are Bangkaru (uninhabited) to the southwest, and Ujung Batu or Banjak Island to the northeast. Tuangku is separated from Bangkaru by a fault line.
