Beach

The Longest Coastline in Malaysia

The magnificent 244km coastline of Terengganu offers much in the form of secluded palm-fringed coves and popular picnic spots for a family outing by the beach. Easily accessible via the picturesque coastal highway, a walk on the beach is recommended. Set against the idyllic islands as picture perfect backgrounds with traditional fishing villages and their coastal fishing boats dotted on the stretches of golden sands. An early morning walk is recommendable, pampered by cool breeze of the sea to witness activities of local fishermen or perhaps to witness the dazzling colours of sunrise.

While all the beaches on the islands are suitable for swimming activities, most beaches on the mainland are rather dangerous for swimming due to unpredictable undercurrent. There are of course signage to advise visitors of the dangers. Extreme water sport activities are even held in the breaking waves of the monsoon season such as surfing while jet ski is held in the open waters off the coast. There is even an annual swimming race from Pulau Kapas to Pantai Kelulut held in the calm seas of April
