Masjid Terapung or the Floating Mosque was built in 2004 in a bid to replace an older mosque which was damaged in the year's major tsunami disaster. Situated along Tanjung Bungah's stretch of beach, the mosque is an architectural wonder with its Moorish design, seven-storey-high towering minarets and 360-degree panoramic view of the sea. It's the first mosque in the country to be built on the sea, with pillars and stilts supporting its majestic structure. Covering an area of 1,295sqm, it can accommodate up to 1500 people during prayer times.
