The shore entry involves a surf or shore break and sharp coral and rocks underfoot, so reef shoes or fins with closed heels are worth having before you step in. Jellyfish are a known hazard here, so a lycra suit or thin wetsuit adds useful protection even in warm water.
Travel to Kuala Dungun Jetty by car or bus, then take a private boat transfer to the island.
