Exploring Malaysia Series: Kapas Island!

Malaysia is renowned for its beautiful, pristine beaches, one of which is a tiny island situated about 6km off the coast of Marang, on the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia.

The island is known as Pulau Kapas, literally translated as Cotton Island, perhaps owing to its soft, white and smooth sandy beach.

Just a short 10-minute boat ride will take you away from the busy mainland from Marang jetty to this island where you can enjoy a relaxing trip surrounded by nature.

Its close proximity to the mainland is probably one of the main reasons why this island is popular among the locals as a weekend getaway, as its relative isolation offers a form of refuge to those looking for a moment of tranquillity.
