Gem Beach
Resort is a beachfront resort close to the traditional fishing
village of Batu Rakit, 29km from Kuala Terengganu City Center
and 18km from Kuala Terengganu Sultan Mahmud Airport, on
the North East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia.
On the distant horizon, over the South China Sea, can be
seen the islands of Bidong and Redang and with the excellent
visibility, seem much closer then they really are. To the
right of the Gem Beach resort is a rocky outcrop surrounded
by the sea. At is this, that gives the village of Batu Rakit
its name. The proximity of this attractive traditional fishing
village provides resort guests with the opportunity of seeing
the fishermen land their catch each day. Some is processed
into salt fish or fish crackers that can be seen being sun
dried close by.
