"Gem Island (Pulau Gemia) is a privately owned island, about 800 metres off Kapas Island. Gem Island had white sandy beaches, crystal clear water, beautiful corals and fascinating marine life. In another effort to preserve wildlife, one of the beaches on Gem Island is used as a turtle hatchery. Terengganu is renowned as one of the few places where turtles (including the giant Leatherback) come ashore to lay their eggs. On the island the green turtle is the most common. But the Hawksbill and Olive Ridley turtle are regular visitors. After laying, the eggs are collected and transferred by Gem Island staff to an enclosure on the beach. This protects them from marauding predators such as monitor lizards, crabs and seabirds."http://www.cuti.com.my/Sub/Terengganu/guide_gemisland.htm

I've no idea - Pulau Gemia is privately owned! Seems like Gemia have its own beauty, just like other island in Terengganu. Well, that why no more turtles come to Rantau Abang, those turtles get new great place to 'give birth' I guess :D I'm wondering..how many beaches in Gemia actually?
