Beaches in Terengganu

Rantau Abang

Another place that should be on every visitor's itinerary is Rantau Abang, 60km south of Kuala Terengganu. There, visitors can lie quietly in wait from midnight to dawn to watch giant leatherback turtles coming ashore to lay their eggs.
The turtles, lumbering slowly up the white sandy beaches to lay eggs, are a memorable sight. These giant turtles grow up to 2.5m long and sometimes weigh more than 375kg - quite a sight to behold.
Rantau Abang is one of only six places in the world visited by these turtles, from the months of May to September.

Bukit Keluang

About 140 km north of Kuala Terengganu, and a few kilometers from Besut, lies Bukit Keluang. The coastal views in this area are among the most magnificent in Malaysia.
It is also an ideal site for swimming, snorkelling and windsurfing. Its distinctive features are caves which are easily reached by walkways.

Penarik

Gently sloping sands and fairly shallow, sparkling waters give Penarik the ideal ambience and make it the perfect setting for sunbathers and fun seekers who want a quiet, serene vacation spot to while away the hours in uninterrupted bliss.

Marang

Try to conjure up an image of a very peaceful village with beautiful wooden houses, children playing games such as hopscotch and marbles, cows grazing in the field, swaying coconut trees, a fresh, cool breeze and a spectacular curve of white, sandy beach. This description describes Marang perfectly.
