 Terengganu
Beaches, Malaysia
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.
