The Sky Mirror in Kuala Selangor is one of the most impressive attractions in Malaysia. During high tide, this secret island is completely invisible to the naked eye and undetectable because it is submerged. The miracle happens at low tide.
Sky Mirror is a name given to reflect a mirror image of the sky on an island that emerges during the low tide. A sand bank emerges creating an island which is shallow with a few inches of sea water that happens from mid to late morning. The effect creates a mirror image of the sky and any subject standing there and this has attracted thousands of locals here to snap those epic shots. The size of this sand bank island is huge, but you should always check with the tour operator on where it ends, as you would not want any unforeseen incidents by exploring too far away.
