About this site

Turtle Bay is a protected bay at the south-west corner of Pulau Tenggol, with a lagoon-like feel and depths of 5 to 9 metres. The water is calm and the reef drops off slowly, which makes it a good place to move from snorkelling to diving.

Green and hawksbill turtles nest on the beach in season, and trumpet fish and nudibranchs are seen here as well.
