Boat from Kuala Besut
To reach Turtle Beach on Pulau Perhentian Kecil, start your journey from Kuala Besut. If you're traveling by car, drive to Kuala Besut, which is approximately a 1-hour drive from Kota Bharu Airport.

The boat ride will take around 30 to 45 minutes. Ensure you check the boat schedules in advance, as they may vary depending on the time of year and weather conditions.
