Tabawan Island or Tabauawan (Malay: Pulau Tabawan) is the highest and largest of a group of heavily wooded islands lying in the southwest quadrant of Darvel Bay (Teluk Lahad Datu), Sabah. It has dual volcanic peaks, and is 275 metres at its highest point. On the south side of the island there is a small bay, or inlet, quite deep, at 25 to 35 metres. It is about 7.25 kilometres from Sebatik Island, which lies to the southeast. For decades, the pearl farm of the island has safeguarded nearby waters to keep thieves and trespassers away.[1]

[de] Pulau Tabawan

Pulau Tabawan ist eine zu Malaysia gehörende Insel in der zur Celebessee offenen Darvel Bay. Die Insel liegt etwa 60 Kilometer östlich von Kunak. Wegen ihrer Perlenfarmen wird sie manchmal auch Pearl Island genannt. Der Name „Tabawan“ entstammt der chinesischen Sprache 大把湾 und bedeutet „so viele Buchten“.
