Pulau Beras Basah literally translates into the Island of Wet Rice. I have no idea how the name came about. The boatman will leave you here for a good hour to take a dip in the water or to get a good tan on the beach. The water isn't too clear but it ain't dirty either. This will be the last stop in the series of Island-hopping. Please note that there is no public restroom on this island, so if you need to go, get creative, but be discreet. If you are into clear water sea and you have been to Redang Island or Perhentian Island, the water here will leave you unimpressed. But in my case, taking a man whose lives only revolves around mountains and sierras is a rewarding experience. Mr Khan, until this moment, had never taken a dip in the sea, so his excitement excited me.
Here, too, the wild monkeys are abundant so always be careful when you are carrying food.
