Pulau Kapas

Last holiday in June. We went to ?Pulau Kapas? . Pulau Kapas or Cotton Island inherited its name from the native because of its incomparable white beaches. Surrounded by crystal clear ocean. Kapas Island is located 5km offshore in the state of Terengganu, east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. From Kuala Terengganu airport, a leisurely 30 minutes drive will take you to Marang jetty and a further 10 minutes boat-ride is all it takes to reach Kapas Island Resort. Where a myriad of corals, shell fish and turtles flourish in the waters. The waters around the quiet and secluded beaches offer ideal spots for snorkeling and scuba diving. Basic but comfortable accommodation is available. However, Kapas Island is not recommended for visiting during the monsoon season between November to March.
 
If you work your way southwards on a map of Asia, you will eventually come down Peninsular Malaysia and finally end in Tanjung Piai .The Southernmost Tip of Mainland Asia. The coordinates of this unique geographical spot is 1'16.00' North;103'30.46' East. This is a place where the earth and sea, plant and animal life, live in harmonious proximity. It is an enduring wilderness, a world of colour, contrast and co-existence.
