Pulau Upeh is a great
weekend retreat in Melaka with its first class chalets
at the Upeh Island Resort. This popular island is also a
sanctuary for the Hawksbill Turtle. The Hawksbill turtle, one of
the earth's rare species, is a medium-sized marine
turtle with a hawk-like beak and a thorny shell and can
be found only at Pulau Upeh in Melaka. Brown and lightly striped, these
turtles find their ideal resting ground on the island of
Upeh whereby the egg-laying season is from March to June but
visitors can expect to catch sight of at least a few
turtles every night throughout the year. The clean
beaches here is a favorite place for swimming for the
locals.
