Pulau Kapas
About 6km off the coast of
Marang is Pulau Kapas, an
island renowned for its clear
waters, sandy white beaches
and swaying palms.
Kapas Island is situated
offshore about 30 minutes by
slow boat or 10 minutes by
fast boat from Marang jetty,
20 minutes south of Kuala
Terengganu.
Relatively isolated from the
hustle and bustle of the
mainland, this island is the
perfect getaway for those
looking for some blissful
relaxation.
It is a lovely small island
with beautiful, quiet,
unspoiled sandy beaches; cool
and clear blue waters,
swaying
coconut trees and caves with
swallows nests. Its waters
are
home to beautiful marine life
such as fish, turtles, corals
and others.
Making it a must-visit
destination, especially for
discerning divers and
snorkellers, is the
incredible
variety of hard and soft
corals, seashells, fish and
turtles.
The laidback atmosphere gives
a perfect excuse to do
nothing. Still, if you are
feeling restless, there are
plenty of activities to keep
you occupied.
Take your pick: diving,
swimming, snorkelling,
windsurfing, kayaking,
boating
and even fishing.
Accommodation varies from
deluxe and budget chalets
offering air conditioned or
fan.
