The island, which is about 20 kilometres from Kuah town, is
modestly populated on one side and virtually uninhabited on the other where the
lake is situated.
The legend of Tasik Dayang Bunting goes like this: The
favourite bathing pool of a celestial princess named Mambang Sari was said to
be Tasik Dayang Bunting (Lake of the Pregnant Maiden). A prince, Mat Teja, fell
madly in love with her and tricked her into marrying him.
Sadly, their child died from a mysterious illness at the age
of seven days. Distraught, the grieving Mambang Sari left the child's body in
the lake and returned to her heavenly abode. Today, some believe that barren
women who bathe in this lake will be endowed with a child.
