Are you a beach lover? In Malaysia, there's a place named Redang Island which is famous as a tourist hot spot. Read this article to have a better understanding on Redang Island!

The Beautiful Redang Island

Redang island or locally know as Pulau Redang is another famous tourist attraction in Malaysia. Redang Island is located at 45 km offshore of Terengganu. White sandy beaches, crystal clear blue sea, brilliant underwater world are the feature of this beautiful island. This island had also won several awards such as Malaysia Best Tour Program of Adventure & Nature 2005/2006.

Redang is one of  nine islands that  form a protected marine park, and it offers excellent diving and snorkelling. Silt and rubble from resort construction is said to have caused some coral damage, and there are ongoing problems with building waste, carelessly dumped on the beach. However, concerted efforts are being made to prevent further damage - even snorkelling is restricted to certain areas.

Of most interest to travellers are the beautiful bays on the eastern side of the island, including Teluk Dalam, Teluk Kalong and Pasir Panjang. The huge Berjaya Beach Resort and the airport are on the north shore and the island's main village is in the interior. There's also a small camp site near the park headquarters on nearby Pulau Pinang. On top of that, you can also watch turtle here if you are lucky. Among of them are Leatherback turtle, Green turtle, Hawksbill turtle and Olive Ridley turtle.

Note that Pulau Redang basically shuts down from 1 November to 1 March; the best time to visit is from mid-March to late September.
