Rantau Abang (Dungun) is about 56km south of Kuala Terengganu and this beach is one of the main nesting grounds for sea turtles. Here, visitors lay in wait quietly from midnight to dawn to watch turtles laying eggs.  The turtles lumbering slowly on the white sandy beaches to lay eggs are a memorable sight. 

Make a visit to the hatchery centre here and find out more about the conservation and protection of these adorable sea creatures.  The beach used to be a favourite nesting ground for Leatherback Turtles since ancient times but there has been no sightings of this species for the last few years.
