WHY CHOOSE PULAU REDANG???

Hey Hey....Lets Look at the Answer!!!

Pulau Redang
One of the largest and most beautiful of the east-coast islands, Redang has, inevitably, been targeted by big developers, and there are few options for the independent traveller; nearly all visitors come on all-inclusive package deals.
Redang is one of  nine islands that  form a protected marine park, and it offers excellent diving and snorkelling. Silt and rubble from resort construction is said to have caused some coral damage, and there are ongoing problems with building waste, carelessly dumped on the beach. However, concerted efforts are being made to prevent further damage - even snorkelling is restricted to certain areas.
Of most interest to travellers are the beautiful bays on the eastern side of the island, including Teluk Dalam, Teluk Kalong and Pasir Panjang. The huge Berjaya Beach Resort and the airport are on the north shore and the island's main village is in the interior. There's also a small camp site near the park headquarters on nearby Pulau Pinang.
Note that Pulau Redang basically shuts down from 1 November to 1 March; the best time to visit is from mid-March to late September.
