Cherating

Along with Tioman and the Perhentian Islands, Cherating is one of the most popular beaches on the east coast. Although the beach is not as grand as the white sand beaches of Perhentian, it is the mellow atmosphere of the town that keeps visitors around. Cherating is a traveler's kampung (village), complete with budget huts by the sea, some good restaurants, and a decent beach with windsurfer breezes. It can almost be compared with southern Thailand.
