About Perhentian Shark Point
Perhentian Shark Point is a shallow reef slope off the southern tip of Perhentian Besar, built on staghorn coral and known for regular blacktip reef shark encounters. The site is popular because it is simple to read, with turtles, barracuda, and dense reef fish filling the coral edge. It works best when the water is calm enough to keep the shallow drop-off easy to follow.
