Favorite thing: We were at Rantau Abang for the 1st time to watch turtle climbing up to the seashore to lay their eggs. It is quite disappointed when we were told that the footprint of turtle had disappeared since few years ago. Local people here are very nice and polite. They are helpful and willing to communicate with u. Fishing squid is a favourite activities of local people or tourist. We are lucky tat night because we had taste a BBQ squid treated by locals.
Fondest memory: Luckily the fantastic view doesn’t let us down, we spend sometime to take some photograph, some read their books, some swimming,some just sit down to watch the sunrise. Do you ever try to make your own teas &taste it at seaside? It’s a wonderful moment.
Look at the collection of shells at Rantau Abang. Someone will be jealousy with them.
