Cherating Beach ( Kuantan )
Less than 50km north of Kuantan is Cherating.
Cherating is the perfect antidote to frantic
city life. Here, wide gently sloping sandy
beaches,
line d with casuarinas trees, extend as
far as the eye can see.
The
enamored and fabulous sparkling seas, pristine
beaches and cool breezes made Club Mediterranean
open its first Asian venture here, on a
private beach. The main Cherating beach
is the location of many hotels, reboots
and chalets, catering for all budgets.
First
popularized by the backpackers, Cherating
is now popular with many visitors who came
to enjoy the beach, sea and sun. Handicraft
shops and cultural establishments have been
established, and many visitors enjoy making
their own batiks. Batik painting and pandanus
handicrafts remain popular souvenirs from
Cherating.
Beserah Beach (Kuantan)
Beserah is a quaint fishing village and is
well-known for salted fish. But what many
people do not know is the very unique practice
of the Beserah fisherman: They employ water
buffalo to transport fish from the boats to
the processing area. Beserah is the only place
in Malaysia where buffalo are used on the
beaches.
Located just 8 km north of Kuantan (on the
road to Terengganu). |
