you can just park you car right in fornt of the jetty with some pay i guess
the will be people watch you car,
so no worries even bmw parked there

i like going to kapas island,
other then because it is cheap , i love to snorkel at Kapas
there are abundant of clowns fish at the cause between kapas n gem island
but beware of sea-urchin
you can see both hard and soft coral there and lots of coral fish
if you dare try swim to the middle and you might see the shark or even turtle
the best time to snorkel is between 10am to noon where the sun is right on top of you and sky is blue
the sea bed is seriouly colorful with enough sunlight penetrating the water.

normally if i go to kapas, i will stay at the light house, the end resort to the souht of the island.
it is near to the light house on top of the hill. i know the guy who run the place. for a record ive been to kapas for more then 3 times.
and kapas has never disappoint me.

from LPT you can just follow the signboard to Cherating, once you pass Cherating just head straight and you will go tru a sea side road. Nice scenery with kampung area and a sea view on ur right.

don’t make any turn from that road, just follow that road straight, no left or right turn, you will pass chukai, kerteh (can see the oil refinery on ur right) and dungun. then you will reach Marang.

after the bridge you will see the marang police station on ur left, straight ahead there is a big mosque on ur right. further up there is a traffic light, turn right straight to the end then right again until you see a small mosque.

in front of the mosque is the parking lot facing a row of travel agent counter. the jettey to kapas is just next to the parking space. you would not miss it.

food wise - you can either have ur meal at duta or go to makcik gemuk or any resort there, lot of choice. no worries on that

samurai:
u really from the terengganu islands?
cool dude

is the Shop 008 the name for the shop?

areankim:
there a quite a numbers of shop selling good keropok around marang too.

going up to KT first seems to be a good idea, but dont buy the wet keropok yet. later it get cooked inside your car

yeah, drive slow and steady yeah
better late then sorry

anyway, when you hit the road along the sea site after cherating
stop a while and just spend few minutes to enoy the scenery
worth of doing it.
