Kapas Island - Pulau Kapas Malaysia
A haven for swimming, snorkeling, windsurfing, kayaking, boating and fishing.
A little island not more than 20 minutes away by boat from the sleepy village of Marang, Pulau Kapas(Cotton Island) basks idyllically as it has for over 270million years. This little haven in the South China Sea and just off the Terengganu coast is a pleasant getaway for the locals during weekends. During the weekdays, it can be surprisingly quiet as throngs of visitors depart home to their 9-to-5 jobs and businesses.
Pulau Kapas is a small island, just over 2km long and 1km at its widest point. Since it is so close - only 6km from the mainland, visitors seldom stay overnight. For those who prefer to spend a longer time on the island, there are a variety of accommodations available on the island best suited to most travellers although non rivalling exclusive resorts such as Banyan Tree?or the Aman' resort establishments.
The resorts here provide satisfactory amenities and service which of course, the price of a nights accommodation will commensurate with. Most resorts are clustered together on two strips of white sandy beaches facing the mainland, whereas the rest of the island is largely forested harbouring lots of small mammals, birds, insects and reptiles.

Malaysia is more of a tropical country from the pictures I have seen. I look forward to coming there one day. The little map reveals an interesting spot like Kapas Island - Pulau Kapas Malaysia and the only way to get there is by boat I suppose. Great pictures. I would love to read more on Malaysia on my next visit to the site.
This place looks so awesome, the beach is very beautiful and with interesting things to see. This is so exciting as kamagra effects.
