Kusu Island
Legends have it that this island was once a giant turtle that transformed itself into a huge rock to help save shipwrecked sailors. Today, the island is still embedded in various beliefs and rituals. Taoists make their annual pilgrimage to the Toa Pekong Temple near the ferry jetty during the ninth month of the Chinese lunar calendar. The shrines of Syed Abdul Rahman, his mother Nenek Ghalib and his sister Puteri Fatimah on top of a hill here is generally visited by childless couples who leave white clothes tied to the nearby trees as a token of the sincerity of their prayers. For all others, simply laze and relax on the beach!
