About this site
Clerks Pinnacle sits among the granite rock formations surrounding Tenggol Island, off the coast of Terengganu in Peninsular Malaysia, within the South China Sea, and is reached by boat from Kuala Terengganu or nearby jetties. The island is known generally for its underwater boulder topography, and this particular pinnacle rises from the seabed as one of its rock features. Divers have reported frogfish and seahorses tucked around the structure, along with occasional sightings of manta rays and whale sharks passing by.
