Redang Island, Tropical island in Terengganu, Malaysia
Redang Island features white sandy beaches along its 7-kilometer coastline, surrounded by clear waters containing numerous coral reefs and marine species.
The island served as a strategic maritime trading post between China and Malaysia during the 15th century, facilitating commercial exchanges across the South China Sea.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing methods passed down through generations, contributing to the preservation of maritime practices in the region.
Visitors can reach the island via scheduled ferry services departing from Shahbandar Jetty and Merang Jetty in Kuala Terengganu throughout the day.
The marine park surrounding Redang Island contains nine species of protected seagrass, providing essential habitats for green turtles and hawksbill turtles.
