Malaysia Most Beautiful Beaches

Air Batang Beautiful Beaches

Despite its ever-increasing popularity, Air Batang, 2km north of Tekek (jetty to jetty), is still one of the best areas on Tioman, and gets most of the budget market.

Although there's plenty of accommodation, it feels spacious, and development tends to be relatively tasteful and low-key. A jetty divides the bay roughly in half; the beach is better at the southern end of the bay.

A fifteen-minute trail leads over the headland to the north, which - after an initial scramble - flattens out into an easy walk, ending up at secluded Penuba Bay. From here, it's an hour's walk to Monkey beach, beyond which is Salang.

Air Batang is a approx 2 km long stretch of beach, that attracts like Salang most of the travelers. The reason therefore might be less the beach, which is here mostly rocky, than rather the nice atmosphere, the contact to the native families and the peacefulness that you can find here. A narrow concrete path, on which the locals transport their children and luggage in the moped's sidecars, runs the length of the beach and connects the many resorts. Northerly of the jetty are the most chalet operations located. Also more tourist infrastructure and kampung (village) life can be found here. But the best beach stretches from the jetty to the south.

Top Beaches

Batu Ferringhi

Batu Ferringhi, a thirty-minute bus ride west of Georgetown on Transitlink #202 or Transitlink air-con #93 (but not the standard #93), has a decent beach and several guesthouses, albeit filthy sea.

Teluk Bahang

The beaches around this rocky headland are better than the ones at Teluk Bahang itself, but since the big hotels run boat trips out here, it's unlikely that you'll have them to yourself.

Juara

Juara is refreshingly free from the buzz of speedboats and motorbikes, while its lovely wide sweep of beach is far cleaner and less crowded than anywhere on the other side. The bay, however, facing out to the open sea, is the most susceptible on the island to bad weather.

Mukut Beach

Mukut , a tiny fishing village on the south coast, lies in the shadow of granite outcrops. Shrouded by dense forest, and connected to the outside world by a solitary card phone, it's a wonderfully peaceful and friendly spot to unwind, though be warned that this is still a conservative place, unused to Western sunbathing habits.

Salang Beach

Salang is a quieter option with a better beach, but there has been a lot of development recently and the string of hostels stretches pretty much the whole length of the seafront; prices tend to be a little higher than at Air Batang.

Pasir Bogak

Only a few of the chalets front the beach itself; most line the road that continues north along the west coast, but they're all reasonably close to the sea.

Teluk Ketapang And Teluk Nipah

The best beach at Teluk Nipah is Coral Bay - a perfect cove with crystal-clear sea and smooth white sand. The bay is inaccessible by road and to reach it you have to climb over the rocks at the northern end of Teluk Nipah (watch the tide).

Nipah Beach

Comprising a clean, empty beach of coarse, yellow sand and a landlocked lagoon, there's no village to speak of here, but there is a Dive Centre and canoeing.

Pantai Cenang Beach

The bay forms a large sweep of wide, white beach with crisp, sugary sand, but again the water here won't win any prizes for cleanliness.

Tekek Beach

The sprawling village of Tekek is the main settlement on the island and the least inspiring part of Tioman.

Perhentian Besar Beach

A stunning conglomeration of three beaches, separated from the main area of accommodation by rocky outcrops and reached only by speedboat, it provides a secluded haven between May and September for green and hawksbill turtles to come ashore and lay their eggs.

Perhentian Kecil Beach

East-facing Long Beach has been the target of most development on Kecil, not surprisingly, since it boasts a wide stretch of white beach and good coral nearby.

Pantai Kok And Telaga Tujuh

Pantai Kok lies on the far western stretch of Langkawi and is the best beach on the island, a large sweep of powdery white sand with relatively clear and shallow water - quieter and more secluded than Cenang and more intimate in feel.
