Pulau Duyong Kecil is renowned throughout Terengganu as a centre of Islamic teaching. This is primarily the result of the work of Tok Sheikh Duyong, a famous 19th century Muslim scholar.

The most famous building in Pulau Duyong Kecil is Kota Lama Duyong, a Malay residence originally built by the great grandson of Tok Sheikh Duyong, Dato Biji Sura, in 1920. Destroyed in the flood of 1986, it was rebuilt in the original form by restorers in 1999.
