Local villagers believed that the giant leatherback turtles are attracted to Rantau Abang every year because of the presence of a large black stone resembling a turtle in the river.
Nobody knows the reason why do these creatures choose to come back every year. However, the local believe that the turtles are attracted by two giant turtle stones (Batu Penyu) one lies between the bushes on a little hill in the village off the coast and another soaking in seawater. The mysterious stone on the hill is accessible in a 30 minutes short walk passing through the village. There is sign board along the way or you may get a villager to bring you there. Whereas the other one is covered by sand and water and is not visible any more.

maybe it is not because of the black stone which resembling a turtle in the river..but maybe because of the condition is suitable for the turtle to lay their eggs there..probably there is history regarding the turtle that makes them came back every year..I am very curious to know better about it..hope to read more next time..fatin..

salam pappy..i've reached at turtle stone last semester together with BPC UITMT..and you also climbed the hill to reach at the stone with us..i was so excited at the first place because i've never been there before yet so exhausted because it is far from our camp..i still cannot forget how i walked and climbed the hill and then returned back to the camp and i think it took two hours for us to do that activity..but now i know why Rantau Abang is famous with the turtle.,it is because their mother is there..>
Assalamualaikum pappy..
I already go there last semester with pbsm members and of course with you too..very beautiful place with the unique stone such like real turtle..although i so tired that day, but i so happy and excited to see the turtle stone..
Honestly,i very enjoy with PBSM teams..thank you pappy..
very unique pictures!
but still,i dont belive the story.
for me its just a myth by the locals to attract visitors ;)
