    Overview

    The Perhentian Islands (Malay: Kepulauan Perhentian; Terengganu Malay: Perhentiang; Kelantan-Pattani Malay: Perhentiey) are a group of islands off the coast of Besut District, Terengganu, Malaysia. The two main islands are Perhentian Besar ("Greater Perhentian") and Perhentian Kecil ("Lesser Perhentian"). The small, uninhabited islands of Susu Dara (Virgin Milk), Serengeh and Rawa, lie off Kecil. As in the rest of Besut, people generally speak Kelantanese Malay. However, English is also widely spoken.
