Pulau Redang Island 

REDANG is 45km o! the coast of Kuala Terengganu. Like the Perhentian islands, it o! ers " ne spots for water activities, including scuba diving, snorkelling, " shing, canoeing, and glass bottom boat trips to view turtles and corals.

However, Redang caters to a more up-market clientele. Unlike Pulau Perhentian Kecil, which is dotted with small hotels, Redang’s accommodation is resort-based and are mainly along Pasir Panjang on
the east.

Pulau Redang is actually a chain of nine islands collectively grouped under the Redang Island Marine Park.

A turtle rehabilitation centre has been set up at Chagar Hutang, one of the islands. The " shing village of Merang, north of Kuala Terengganu, is the departure point for Redang. There are also # ights from Kuala
Lumpur and Singapore, although the frequency varies with the season.

The best time to visit Redang is between March and October. Two historic shipwrecks — the H.M.S Prince of Wales and the H.M.S Repulse— which were sunk at the start of World War Two, can be found in the waters o! Redang.
