Kapas Island

"Pulau Kapas or Cotton Island inherited its name from the native because of its incomparable white beaches. Surrounded by crystal clear ocean, Pulau Kapas promises a spectacular getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life to quiet natural retreats with abundant sunshine and crisp clean air.

An island renowned for its clear waters, sandy white beaches and swaying palms, it is relatively isolated. Home to an infinite variety of hard and soft corals, the waters around the island abound with sea-shells, fish and turtles. The island's laid back atmosphere is ideal for relaxation but the more adventurous will find it is also a haven for swimming, snorkeling, windsurfing, kayaking, boating and fishing.

Where a myriad of corals, shell fish and turtles flourish in the waters. The waters around the quiet and secluded beaches offer ideal spots for snorkeling and scuba diving. Basic but comfortable accommodation is available. Not recommended during the monsoon season between November to March."

Hello pappy,
Kapas Island.. I just beeing there last weekend. It is beautiful place. I was go with my friends, there was eight of us. We go at Friday morning and back to UiTM Saturday evening. That was sweet memory.
We arrived at Jetty Marang at 9:00 a.m. and go to the island at 9:30 a.m. We check in at Mak Cik Gemuk Beach Resort. After that, we go to the beach..take pictures and play with fishes, we can see beautiful fishes even we just play near the rock. At the evening, we play volley ball and walk around the island, see the beautiful scenery that we can’t see it here, Dungun. At the night, we have barbeque and delicious cake that we have brought to celebrate our friendship anniversary.
The next day, at the early morning, we go to the beach again to see the sunrise… huh… fantastic.. Beautiful.. Cannot describe the scenery by words… then, we have snorkeling.. We see the coral, the beautiful fishes... hehe… the best thing is we feed fishes and they just play around us… imagine it... The colorful fishes... Different types...
Last but not least, our vacation is valuable because we have being friend to the England women and her daughter, name Daisy…

My classmates leave me for a trip to Kapas Island! How could you guys?? Waaa I thought it got the name 'Kapas' from cotton, but seems like I'm totally wrong. No sharks there right? How to go there? Thanks Pappy for nice info. I'll keep it as holiday references.♥

Just love writing♥
