Lang TengahPulau Lang Tengah
Spend 2–3 days on Lang Tengah for snorkeling, turtle watching and beach relaxation; travel time about 30 min boat from Merang Jetty.
Lang Tengah is a small island off Terengganu with white‑sand beaches, coral reefs and limited facilities. A short boat ride from Merang Jetty brings you to a handful of resorts, making a 2‑day stay enough for most activities, with an extra day if you want night diving or turtle‑watching tours.
