East Coast Malaysia
Laid back towns, fishing villages and resort islands are characteristics of the East Coast. Here life stands still and many observe the traditional customs. The beaches and especially the islands, are world renowned. Popular amongst divers are the islands of Perhentian which are surrounded by untouched coral reefs and remote islands, while the Redang Island archipelago within the Redang Marine Park offers a breathtaking 3,000 species of sea creatures and 500 species of live corals.
Tioman Island achieved fame as Bali Hai in the 1950's movie South Pacific and in addition to fantastic beaches, diving and snorkelling there is an 18 hole challenging golf course next to the Berjaya Hotel.
On the mainland is the resort of Kuantan which has great beaches and the up market resort of Tanjong Jara in Terengganu. Both are great destination for holidays in our summer months as this is their dry season and is the opposite from the West Coast and it's islands.
We suggest you have 3 nights in Kuala Lumpur to explore this fantastic city before heading off to one of the islands or mainland east coast.
