Kapas Island (Malay: Pulau Kapas) is an island off Marang in Terengganu, Malaysia. Pulau Kapas means Cotton Island, a name given to it by locals, due to its soft white beaches. Surrounded by crystal clear water, Pulau Kapas is a getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Ferries to Kapas leave from Marang, which is about 45 minutes by car from Kuala Terengganu. Boatride takes 10-30 minutes, depending on the waves.
