Bidung Laut island

Bidung Laut is a small islet to the south of more popular Redang Island in Malaysia. The place is quite beautiful, but has not much of tourist services. The best beach is in the south - near the campsite. The island is notable as a former transit point for Vietnamese refugees. There are still some ruins from that historical period. This is probably a good destination for a day trip from Redang Island. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
