[an error occurred while processing this directive] Pulau Kapas (GPS: 5.21985, 103.26624) is a small island in the South China Sea off the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia, in the state of Terengganu. The name Pulau Kapas means "cotton island". The island is surrounded by crystal clear water with live corals growing in places. It is ideal for snorkelling and diving.

On Pulau Kapas are a number of small resorts offering basic accommodation and meals. They can become very expensive during the Malaysian school holidays, when all the rooms are fully booked.
