Penarik, Kuala Terengganu Overview

Penarik is a fishing village-town in Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia. Penarik is ideal for a taste of the local Malaysian culture. Being close to the Perhentian Islands – Lang Tengah and Pulau Redang, this coastal village has a pretty windswept beach that is perfect for a relaxing rest stop away from the daily hassles of life for a couple of days. Stroll down the soft sands while it is breezy in this less crowded town and don’t forget to try the local seafood here while you’re here.

Penarik is famous for its awe-striking firefly sanctuary. Take an evening or night ride on a boat by the swampy mangrove forests and Sonneratia caseolaris trees, that is locally known as the Berembang to see thousands of fireflies in an unusual harmonious synchronization as they dance among the tall dark trees waving eerily.  This lesser-seen view has been linked to the mating behaviour of the fireflies.
