A
place that should be on every visitor's itinerary is Rantau Abang.
60
km south of Kuala Terengganu. There, visitors lay in wait quietly from midnight
to dawn to watch giant leather back turtles laying eggs. The turtles lumbering
slowly on the white sandy beaches to lay eggs are a memorable sight. These
giant turtles, up to 2.5 m in length and sometimes weighing more than 375 kg
are indeed a phenomenal sight to behold. Rantau Abang is one of only six places in the world visited by
these turtles, from the months of May to September.
