Located 45km off the east coast, close to Kuala Terengganu, Redang is the largest of a group of nine South China Sea islands which make up a protected marine park.
Kampang Air, the main village, is surrounded by jungle-clad hills and the ideal base for a trek into the rainforest interior, but most visitors head straight for the beaches of Pasir Panjang and Teluk Dalam Kecil or take a dive trip out to the fabulous coral reefs and the historic wrecks of H.M.S. Prince of Wales and H.M.S. Repulse, which sank here at the start of World War II.
