Three Coves Bay (Tiga Ruang)
Pasir Tiga Ruang
A pristine beach of three linked small coves on the northeast tip of Perhentian Besar, backed by jungle. It's a turtle nesting site that can only be reached by boat.
Three Coves (Tiga Ruang) lies at the northeast tip of Perhentian Besar. It consists of three connected small sandy bays backed by jungle, with no resorts. It is one of the key beaches where sea turtles come ashore to nest. The sand is white and the water clear, and it's often a stop on island-hopping trips. During nesting season, beach access is banned at night. Even during the day, stay away from the protected-area signs, and do not touch turtle eggs or hatchlings. There are no facilities, so bring your own drinking water.
