Certainly has one of the most beautiful and abundent reef life in the east coast of Malaysia. Plenty of sea life: Moral Eels, Clown fish, Angel fish, Puffer fish, Parrot fish, Stingrays, giant clams, long beak coral fish.... just to name a few.
For snorkeling / diving, beware of plenty jellyfish with 1.5 m long stinging tenticles from August onwards.

One of a must visit park in Kuala Terengganu. Fascinating park with fantastic architectural of Crystal Mosque surrounded by the sea. Staff at the entrance of the mosque are very helpful and most importantly they are knowledgeable on the structure. Crystal Mosque welcomed all visitors regardless of religions.

Staying in Marang for a few days, I experienced the markets twice. Both markets were different.
On Saturday morning, limited food stalls and quite a number of stalls set up in the centre of town near the central bazaar. There were some food stalls and quite a lot selling different clothing items in different areas off the street and car park areas. The street was still open to traffic while this market was in progress.
On Sunday afternoon, a smaller market was set up, however this time the market was primarily food, most of which looked delicious and fresh. The street was closed to all vehicular traffic for this market. There was some clothing on sale, however this one was primarily food and was well patronised by locals.
Both of these markets appeared to be primarily geared towards locals rather than tourists which was wonderful.
Both markets are an entertaining way to spend some time. The Sunday evening foodie one was particularly pleasant. I dont however know if these markets are on every week.

This beach is located about 5 kilometre south from marang city. You can see a breathtaking scene view of Kapas Island from this beach. The best panoramic view is during the sunrise.

Renowned for its yearly district Cultural Fiesta ground, it is the venue for few international sports events such as Kapas-Marang International Swimathon. The alluring powdery sands of Pantai Kelulut are the local's preferred weekend destination. It has all the basic facilities such as resting gazebos, public toilet, food stalls, restaurants, grocery shops, performance stage and ample parking space. Even the weekly night market is held here attracting locals and foreigners alike. There are eating stalls offering various fresh seafood delicacies. Located 21 km south of Kuala Terengganu, visitors wishing to taste the freshness of coconut drinks, should make it a point to stop here.

Average looking mosque, but it does look to be 'floating' from a distance. Fishes can be fed around the lagoon. Mughal architecture can be seen within the mosque. There's a 'hop on' bus available at specific timings for a fee. Shops selling refreshments nearby. No public transportation.

I likes this mosque because it is near to the main road to KUala Terengganu, ample space for car park and quite spacious, but I dislikes this toilet in this mosque. This administrative for this mosque should take action to make the toilet clean for the visitors.

It was one of the main place setting for Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa film (Malay old folk story/history). Really breathtaking. I really enjoy strolling between stones with sea water touches slowly your feet. Cool & clean.. Great for taking photos.. but currently the place is under contruction to build a new hotel there.
