Set in the South China Sea, off the coast of Terengganu, Malaysia, Pulau Tenggol or Tenggol Island is the last in a string of islands including Pulau Perhentian and Pulau Redang, and is part of the Terengganu Park. The island’s main drawcard is its spectacular diving opportunities: 20 dive sites lie in the surrounding waters. The rich marine life here includes sharks, rays, nudibranch and a variety of hard and soft corals. The island’s numerous enthralling beaches offer soft white sands fringed by lush tropical vegetation and lapped by bright turquoise waters. Visitors can also explore the trails which cross the small island (it measures roughly three by two kilometres). Ferries can be taken to Tengol Island from Kuala Dungun on the mainland.
