If you're a photography enthusiast, Perhentian Island is a visual paradise. Here are the most iconic hotspots you must visit:

1. Teluk Pauh (PIR Beach): Famous for its crystal-clear water, as clear as glass. Perfect for "split-shot" photography (half in water, half out).

2. Coral Bay Sunset: Facing west, Coral Bay offers an unobstructed view of the sunset. This is the best location for silhouette photography at dusk.

3. Windmill Viewpoint: Although the stairs are challenging, the view from the top of the hill looking out over the blue Perhentian sea is a masterpiece for every photographer.

4. D'Lagoon: A secluded bay in the north of Perhentian Kecil surrounded by virgin rainforest, giving a very unique "Jurassic Park" vibe.
