Teluk Pauh is the most famous beach on Perhentian Besar island, stretching nearly half a kilometer with soft white sand and turquoise clear water. Also known as 'Turtle Point' because green sea turtles regularly feed on the seagrass beds near the shore. The beach offers perfect snorkeling conditions for beginners and families with shallow, calm water and colorful coral reefs. Visitors can spot giant humphead parrotfish, butterflyfish, bluespotted ribbontail rays, and reef sharks. Two resorts sit directly on this beach making it ideal for comfortable stays.
