It is located not far from the town of Georgetown, about 30 minutes if driving from Georgetown to Batu Ferringhi. The clean beaches are very beautiful and very appropriate for your family to picnic, swim and bathe. Other activities such as kayaking, water skiing and jet skiing all you can do here.

Travelling To The Amazing Pulau Perhentian

According to the local folks, Pulau Perhentian started to be inhabited by the late 1800. It is believe that the first person to arrive here is Batin Mina and his family.The island originally had no specific name. It was a stop for ships that sailed from China to Southeast Asia like Singapore, Java and some parts of the Malay Peninsula. This island also was a stop for ships from Singgora  (Southern Thailand), to deliver salt to Kuala Terengganu
Because the island is often used as a stopover for ships in the cruise, it then was named as Perhentian which mean that it was the island where ships stop or pause before continuing the voyage. Until now the island is still used as a shelter for ships from the strong winds and big waves.
During  my vacation on the island I must say that island tourism in Terengganu State is very impressive. I had just visited the Perhentian Islands and the numbers of tourists visiting these islands are quite large. Though this may not be the trend for the whole year as August is in the tourist season, it is significant enough for both the State and Federal authorities to look into the infrastructures on such islands such as water, electricity, sewerage, solid wastes disposal and drainage. The Perhentian Islands (Pulau Perhentian in Malay) lay approximately 10 nautical miles or 19 km offshore the coast of northeastern Malaysia in the state of Terengganu, approximately 40 miles or 64 km south of the Thai border.Actually Pulau Perhentian is divided inti two major islands. The two main islands are Perhentian Besar ("Big Perhentian") and Perhentian Kecil ("Small Perhentian"). The Perhentians belong to Pulau Redang National Marine Park, which means that fishing, collecting coral and littering are strictly prohibited. Like other region in Terengganu, people here generally speak Kelantanese Malay.
Usually tourist stayed at Flora Bay Resort on Perhentian Besar. Throughout the diving days at Perhentian, they would experienced magnificent experience and moment on the island. Visibiliy was quite bad at some dives as the underwater current stirred up the sand on the seabed.

Long Sand Beach In Malaysia


Hi there everyone,
First of all I would like to announce that this is my early stage in blogging. Due to less knowledge with English grammar,(i'm teaching Bahasa Malaysia,so i not mastering English langguage very well) so you all will find some mistakes on the grammar in my blog.
I am a teacher at a school in kuala lumpur. As a teacher I've been teaching my students about the interesting places in Asia. Here I would like to share the beauty of the interesting places in Asia for viewing to the world.
The first place I want to point out to readers is about  a beach resort that is very famous. This beach is located in Terengganu, a state in Malaysia. The beach is called  Pantai Pasir Panjang,  because according to local citizens, the name is symbolic of the edge of the beach that is so sandy and extends as far as several miles.
This beach is actually located in one of the largest and  beautiful island in Malaysia. Pulau Redang, by the locals call it, is a resort island that is very popular among the people of Malaysia, as well as foreign tourists. Most tourists come through the tour agents. White sand and crystal clear waters, with coral and a variety of different forms are just a few meters from the beach.
Redang Island can be reached via Merang, the famous boat companies operated by local resort here. The distance from the village jetty to the island is 30 nautical miles from Kuala Terengganu through Shahbandar jetty by ferry.
There are also tourists who come by plane. Actually there is an airport in Terengganu and later travelers can take a boat provided to the island.
