Kapas island

Kapas is a small island in Malaysia located a little to the south Kuala Terengganu major town. Beaches are almost as beautiful as in Perhentian Islands, while hotels are almost as good as in Redang. So this is a great place, if you liked the islands mentioned above and want something like that. There are popular crowded beaches, wild beaches, a private islet, as well as interesting opportunities for hiking. Snorkeling is great almost everywhere. You will also have a chance to swim with big sea turtles. Shore and seabed: sand, rocks. [edit]
