Perhentian Islands

Malaysia
Someday we will visit Perhentian Islands or begin to dream about going there! However, for now its not on our radar. Let us know in the comments if you think that should change!

Perhentian Islands

The Perhentian Islands are a small group of islands approximately 10 nautical miles off the north-eastern coast of West Malaysia in the state of Terengganu. The islands are protected as part of the Pulau Redang National Marine Park.

The name "Perhentian" means "stopping point" in Malay, referring to the islands' traditional role as a waypoint for traders between Bangkok and Malaysia. The islands were sparsely inhabited by fishermen for centuries, although tourism now accounts for most economic activity.
