The surf still rolls in at Lagun Dri beach, but the island's only tourist attraction is devoid of both tourists and villagers.
Lagun Dri beach and the Muslim village 12km away that goes by the same name are deserted.
The women and children have fled to the hills and the men are guarding the houses, many of which doubled as hostels for the international surfing fraternity that sought out the uncrowded breaks.
At night, the men and youths on looter patrol also head up the slopes to seek refuge from the third earthquake and tsunami they are convinced will deluge, or even sink, the island.
'Since the December 26 tsunami, very few tourists have turned up,' said Runli Gee, 60, who operates the Lagun Dri Holiday Cottage.
The village, consisting of 300 families, has suffered a double blow in the past 100 days. On December 26, the tsunami sucked away their homes and fishing boats, leaving them with only the clothes on their back.
