Tenggol Island (Malay: Pulau Tenggol, Terengganuan: Pula Tenggo) is an island around 24 kilometres (15 mi) off the coast of Terengganu, Malaysia.[1][2] It is the last island in a string of islands that include Pulau Perhentian and Pulau Redang. It is connected by ferry to Kuala Dungun on the mainland.[citation needed]
The island was traditionally uninhabited, but now contains a resort. Vietnamese boat people were stranded on the island in the aftermath of the Vietnam War.[citation needed]
