A good place for that is Bubbles Dive resort on Beasr.

You don't have to be a diver.There is a 'private' beach (this place is quite isolated..you go in and out by boat),good snorkelling off the beach,also turtles nesting in season.It si really good value...well within your budget if you take the room only option.

It really needs to be booked in advance...have a look at their website

Sorry that should be 'on Besar'

When is the edit function coming back? ;-)

It's a matter of personal taste, but I prefer Besar (the bigger island). There are long beaches facing west, ideal to watch the sunset:

I haven't stayed at Tuna Bay.AFAIK though it is considerably more expensive (I think that's why i decided not to try it,as the reviews I read were pretty good ).It also has a reputation for better food....the food at Bubbles is ok,but not great.

I chose Bubbles for the low price,the quiet,the beach and the off shore snorkelling.....all of these things were very good.
I also saw several turtles depositing eggs on the beach which was a bonus ;-)

You can stay at Perhentian Kecil Island,most of rooms you will get rates around RM60 to RM150 per night. AurBay are recommended.

I recommend this place, prices have doubled this year (gutted can't afford it now) but still in your price range. They have a tame otter!
