Beaches
Pantai Cenang
Pantai Cenang, is one of the the liveliest beaches on this island paradise, a perfect spot to escape and have fun in the sun. Visitors can choose to swim, jet ski, water ski, wind surf or go catamaran sailing and boating.

Tanjung Rhu


Tanjung Rhu offers another magnificent beach for sun, sea and sand lovers with a scenic and unspoiled enclave nestled in the shade of swaying casuarinas trees. You can hire a boat from Tanjung Rhu to get to Gua Cerita, a cave worth exploring. There are also other subterranean caverns for cave exploration such as the Gua Teluk Udang, Gua Siam and Gua Teluk Dedap. Behind the beach area you will find mostly mangrove forests.

Pantai Pasir Hitam (Black Sand Beach)
Pasir Pantai Hitam or literally 'black sand beach', is so called because of its unique beach of glittering black sand, which is thought to be tin or an oxide of tin. The beach is small and only a few metres wide. Souvenir shops and fishing spots can be found here.

Other popular beach spots include Pantai Tengah, Pantai Kok and Burau Bay. All offer clean beaches and tranquil waters.
