Introduction
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.
