 Pulau
Redang, located 45 km off the coast of Kuala
Terengganu, is the largest of a group of islands dotting
the South China Sea off the Terengganu coast.
The island offers crystal-clear waters and numerous dive
sites. Sheltered within the Pulau Redang Marine Park, the
waters here are rich in marine life.
At mid-day when sunrays penetrate the sea, brilliant hues
of coral, anemones and clams can be seen.
The waters around Pulau Redang also contain two historic
shipwrecks: The H.M.S Prince of Wales and H.M.S. Repulse,
which sank here at the start of World War II, setting the
stage for the Japanese occupation of Malaya
This paradise island is perfect for snorkeling, swimming,
scuba diving, jungle trekking, boating and canoeing. No fishing
is allowed within a 3.2 km radius of the island as Pulau Redang
is gazetted as a marine park.
The collection of corals and other aquatic life is also strictly
prohibited.
