Rantau Abang, Terengganu

Turtle Information Centre, Rantau Abang (31 December, 2006)


Rantau Abang (GPS: 4.85995, 103.39641) is a coastal village in Terengganu. It is located to the north of Dungun on Federal Route 3. The village is best known as the site where giant leatherback turtles come up to lay their eggs. Unfortunately this sighting has become almost non-existent today, and with that, so too has the tourists dwindled.

There is a Turtle Information Centre (Pusat Penerangan Santuari Penyu) at Rantau Abang, where visitors learn more about the habitat of the leatherbacks.
