Perhentian Islands
| |
| |
The Perhentian Islands (Pulau Perhentian in Malay) lie approximately 10 nautical miles (19 km) off the northeastern coast of West Malaysia in the state of Terengganu.
The two main islands are Perhentian Besar ("Large Perhentian") and Perhentian Kecil ("Small Perhentian"). The small, uninhabited islands of Susu Dara (Virgin Milk), Serengeh and Rawa lie off Kecil.
Like Besut, people here generally speak Kelantanese Malay, however, English is widely spoken and understood to accommodate the growing tourism market. The Perhentian Islands have become a popular travel destination for families and backpackers alike due to the many lodging options that accommodate almost any budget.
Charts
See Malaysia.
Weather
The Perhentian islands experience a heavy monsoon season between October and March, and most of the islands are essentially closed off to tourists. Resorts and ferry services are stopped during this time due to the weather. The best time to visit the islands is between April and September due to the warm weather and limited rainfall.
