Perhentian Besar

Stretching along the west coast of Perhentian Besar – or ‘Greater Perhentian’ – Main Beach is, well, the main beach on the island. Here you can find the majority of its bars, restaurants, and hotels. These are decidedly more upmarket than the ones on Perhentian Kecil. Its gorgeous white sands are beautifully backed by lush rainforest, and swimming in the inviting waters or snorkeling above its coral reefs is a divine experience. Although at various points rocky outcrops prevent you from strolling any further along the beach, you can easily circumnavigate these by taking a short walk through the forest. In addition to all the marvelous scenery all around you, from Main Beach, you can easily book scuba diving or snorkeling tours if you want to explore the islands’ many underwater marvels. #urbanexplorer #beachvacation
