Pulau Rawa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rawa Island is a coral island off the east coast of Johor, Malaysia, 16 km by boat from Mersing town. It is popular with tourists from Malaysia and Singapore, who come to enjoy its relatively unspoiled white sand beaches, snorkelling and scuba diving. Nearby islands include Pulau Harimau and Pulau Mensirip. There is a daily ferry service from Mersing.

"Rawa" is the local term for white doves, which are abundant in the island.

Rawa is a relatively small island. There is no proper road, only a few walkways. One side of the island is white sand beach, while the other side has a rocky vertical cliff. The water is very clean. There are a lot of sea and land creatures like fish, squid, jelly fish, octopus, malayan sea eagle, and reptiles.

There are chalets on the island for tourists to stay in.
