Tenggol island is one of the islands in the east coast of Malaysia, known for its pristine water warmed by the South China Sea. The island is accessible by boats from Kuala Dungun, Terengganu.

Kuala Dungun is about 70 km south of Kuala Terengganu. It is a sleepy town and gateway to Pulau Tenggol (17 km or 1 hour away by speedboat).

The Tenggol group of islands is the southernmost part of Terengganu's Marine Parks. It consists of Pulau Tenggol (Tenggol Island), Pulau Nyireh, Tokong Timur, Tokong Burung and Tokong Talang/Tokong Kemudi, Tokong Laut.

Pulau Tenggol is also known for its white sandy beach and clear blue water.

It lies 14 nautical miles off the coast of quiet fishing town of Kuala Dungun, Terengganu, Malaysia. This rocky island is about 50 hectares in size, spans less than 3 kilometres in length and 2 kilometres at its widest point, is one of the most beautiful and serene islands off Peninsular Malaysia's east coast, with spectacular rocky cliffs that offer many excellent dive sites. One of the island’s attractions is that it is close to its original state. A virgin island with its white sandy beaches backed by steeply forested cliffs is a pleasant retreat away from the city. Activities range from snorkelling, scuba diving, jungle trekking or just basking under the sun on the white sandy beach.
