What you are liable to find on Kapas Island.

Pulau Kapas has a rustic lure for those who are looking for an outdoor experience with minimal comfort affording just the bare necessities for visitors. Most of the resorts along the beaches are not highly developed with four star accommodations and a few are still gives the sense of a Robinson Crusoe like settings.

To add to the sense of an out door experience on the island tents are provided in some cases where families can enjoy a camping experience in a jungle type of environment right by the sea.

Man and nature coexist to create an aesthetic and carry a message with. Only time and the weather can forge such a union into one piece of artistic expression. The creator may have long been gone departed from the scene but what is left behind is a legacy for those who have the time and awarenesss to savr the creation.

The soft white sand littered with the dried 'Ketapang', leaves gives a drastic contrast of permanence and impermanence, of forms as in the foreground against emptiness of the white sand as the back ground. 

 

To make a stay at one of these lodgings might make one hesitate wondering what the inside would look like and what kind of amenities is available. This is the added attraction to venturing into the not so wild for those who has never left the comfort their homes in the cities.

An original well said to be over a hundred years old possibly dug by the first island dwellers or visitors is still in use with the water still fresh and cold. The presence of this well adds a sense of mystery to the surrounding areas.

Wrapped in a hammock swinging underneath the shade of the 'Ketapang' tree can be a most relaxing experience on a hot sunny day with the cool breeze blowing from all around.

The architecture was left up to the imagination and the architect is long gone leaving behind her creative ideas for posterity and brave happy campers who would turn up to spend a few nights in the chalet.

The owner of the resort, Encik Khalid, when showed the picture of him was happy because I captured him looking proud and confident. He is the proud owner of Coco Beach Resort which he and his former girl friend had together put together over several years.
