About this site

Tanjung Tengah is a shallow house reef at Pasir Panjang beach on Redang, Malaysia. It is probably the busiest house reef on the island, and it is easy to reach from the beach. The maximum depth is about 15 m (49 ft), the current is light and visibility is good.

Shark Bay. The southern side of the reef is commonly known as Shark Bay, because the reefs there are a nursery for baby blacktip sharks. April to August seems to be the best time to spot the pups, with up to a dozen in view.

Other life. Schooling needlefish, a few turtles, squid, an orange-striped triggerfish and a resident barracuda live on the reef, along with the common reef fishes.

Because of its popularity and easy access, the reef has suffered a lot of damage over the years, particularly the corals nearer the shore. At low tide the corals lie in very shallow water and are easily damaged when snorkellers stand on them or kick them by accident.
