Chagar Hutang, Terengganu – A Hidden Turtle Paradise 🐢✨

Located on Redang Island, Chagar Hutang Turtle Sanctuary is truly a hidden gem in Terengganu. Unlike the usual tourist spots, this beach is a protected nesting ground for sea turtles, especially the green turtles that come ashore to lay their eggs. 🌊

What makes it special is the conservation effort led by Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT). The beach isn’t open for mass tourism – instead, it’s dedicated to turtle conservation and volunteer programs. Here, you get the rare chance to witness turtles nesting under the stars, watch tiny hatchlings make their way to the sea, and learn how every little effort helps protect these endangered creatures. 💚

The untouched beach, crystal clear waters, and the sound of waves at night make this place feel magical – peaceful, raw, and full of life. It’s not just a trip, but an eye-opening experience about why protecting our oceans matters. 🌍

If you love nature and want to do something meaningful while traveling, Chagar Hutang is definitely a place to add to your bucket list.#holidayitinerary
