Hi lovely peeps! As we already aware, the East Coast of Peninsula Malaysia have always been renowned for its long stretch of unpolluted beaches and even so in Terengganu, home to the longest coastlines in Malaysia. The panoramic, untouched beaches of Terengganu spans 244 km from the District of Kemaman in the south, along the scenic coast up north to the District of Besut, overlooking the South China, Sea.

These are some of the best beach in Terengganu;

Rantau Abang

Another place that should be on your itinerary is Rantau Abang, 60km south of Kuala Terengganu. There, you can watch giant leatherback turtles laying eggs by waiting silently from midnight to dawn. The turtles lumbering slowly on the white sandy beaches to lay eggs are such an unforgettable view for most visitors. These giant turtles, up to 2.5 m in length and sometimes weighing more than 375 kg are indeed a phenomenal sight to behold. From May to September, Rantau Abang is one of only six places in the world visited by these turtles.

Pandak Beach

Another wonderful beach located in Terengganu is Pandak Beach. Photographer often stated that this beach is very suitable for a photoshoot as they can easily get a lovely view here.
