-
Perhentian Islands
Two main islands, Perhentian Besar and Perhentian Kecil, off the coast of Besut in Terengganu. There are no roads, so boats link the beaches, and the clear water and reefs make them a favourite for snorkelling and diving.
-
Redang Island
One of the largest islands off the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, and the main one of nine islands in a marine park. The water around it is clear and full of coral, which is what brings the divers and snorkellers.

-
Crystal Mosque
A mosque of steel, glass and crystal on the river island of Wan Man, opened in 2008 within the Islamic Heritage Park. It holds more than 1,500 worshippers and glows after dark when it is lit from within.
-
Kapas Island
A small island off Marang, roughly 1.5 by 2.5 kilometres, with little Gemia Island just to its north. Its name means cotton, after the white beaches, and jungle runs down to coral reefs in clear water.
-
Kenyir Lake
A vast man-made lake in Hulu Terengganu, created in 1985 when the Kenyir Dam closed the upper Terengganu River. It is the largest artificial lake in mainland Southeast Asia, and the tops of drowned hills now rise from it as forested islands.
-
Lang Tengah Island
A small island off the Terengganu coast between Redang and the Perhentians, reached by ferry from Merang. It has only a handful of resorts, so its beaches and reefs stay quiet.
-
Tengku Tengah Zaharah Mosque
Known as the Floating Mosque, it stands in the Kuala Ibai lagoon near the river mouth, about 4 kilometres from Kuala Terengganu. Finished in 1995, it mixes modern and Moorish design in marble, ceramics and mosaic.
