Perhentian Island

The Perhentian Islands are a group of small islands located off the northeastern coast of Peninsular Malaysia, in the South China Sea. They are part of the state of Terengganu and are known for their crystal-clear waters, white sandy beaches, and vibrant marine life, making them a popular destination for snorkeling, scuba diving, and relaxation.

The two main islands are:

1. Perhentian Besar (the larger island), known for its more laid-back atmosphere and family-friendly accommodations.
2. Perhentian Kecil (the smaller island), popular with backpackers, offering budget-friendly options and a more vibrant nightlife.
