REDANG ISLAND
The Redang Island is one of the most beautiful
islands in Malaysia. Pulau Redang is located in the South China Sea off the
East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia within 5°44' - 5°50' North latitude and
102°59' - 103°5' East longitude. It take about 45 minute
boat ride from the Merang Jetty. It lies about 45 km
north-northeast of Kuala Terengganu, the state capital of Terengganu, and
about 22 km off Tanjung Merang, the closest point on the mainland.
The Redang island temperature ranges
from 31° to 34°C during the day, a strong breeze of wind will still keep a
cooling circulating air. Shining white beach sand with crystal clear light
blue sea water give an unforgettable soothing relaxation sensation.
Beautiful fish swimming gracefully around the magnificent coral makes scuba
diving or snorkelling a must.
ISLAND IN THE PARK
The Pulau Redang archipelago comprises Pulau
Redang, Pulau Lima, Pulau Paku Besar, Pulau Paku Kecil, Pulau Kerengga Kecil,
Pulau Kerengga Besar, Pulau Ekor Tebu, Pulau Ling and Pulau Pinang.
Pulau Redang is the biggest of all the islands in the Marine Park, measuring
about 7 km long and 6 km wide. It's highest peak is Bukit Besar at 359
metres above sea level. The boundary of the Pulau Redang Marine Park is
established by a line linking all points 2 nautical miles from the shores of
Pulau Redang, Pulau Lima, Pulau Ekor Tebu and Pulau Pinang.
The other nearby islands of Pulau Perhentian Besar, Pulau Perhentian Kecil,
Pulau Lang Tengah, Pulau Kapas and Pulau Susu Dara are also gazetted and
protected as Marine Parks. Today, only the bigger islands like Redang, Lang
Tengah, Perhentian and Kapas have resort facilities for visitors.

sensitive marine and terrestrial ecosystems by controlling the impact from
human activities. These include waste & pollution management and
conservation of coral reefs and terrestrial habitats.
