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

SEA THROUGH WATER AT PULAU PERHENTIAN

Located on the east coast of Malaysia, Pulau Perhentian consists of a cluster of islands blessed with crystal-clear water, fine sand beaches, swaying coconut trees, and breathtaking marine life. Popular amongst snorkelers, divers, families, and beach lovers in general, it is the perfect little slice of paradise to just relax, soak up the sun, and spend hours in the water.#perhentianisland #perhentiankecil #perhentianbesar

Pulau Perhentian consists of 2 main islands which are located about 25km away from the town of Kuala Besut. The smaller island is known as Perhentian Kecil and bigger one is called Perhentian Besar. If you are not familiar with Bahasa Malaysia, "Kecil" means small and "Besar" means big. Unlike the bigger and more developed islands of Pangkor or Langkawi , these 2 islands are still seeing a slower pace of development where there are no roads or airport facilities. Accessibility to the islands and getting from one part of the island to another is by ferry or boat. Electricity is generated by using the local generators located on the island itself. There isn't any 5 Star Resort accommodation on these two islands.

Vitamin Sea at Perhentian

I had the most memorable trip to Pulau Perhentian Besar especially with my girlfriends and their family. We took the plane until Kelantan and made our way to Terengganu and hop onto the boat until we reach the jetty. There are big trees, hanging hammocks and beach seat for us to lazing around. We spent most of the time swimming and hanging out at the cafe. Food was not that great but it was sufficient to fulfill our hunger and thirst. There were lots of activities such as island hopping and I also took a dive at one of the beautiful spot in Perhentian. Saw nice fishes and other sea living. The water was clear and we had lotsa fun. #tripblazers #mytripvlog
