Introducing Cherating

Effortlessly ranked among the east coast’s top stops, the travellers’ kampung of Cherating waylays visitors with a woozy concoction of sunshine, seaside charms and an infectiously leisurely tempo. Some people drift through, settle down and stay for weeks (years even), while many others at least theorise about joining them. Complete with budget shacks by the sea, a scattering of bars, good restaurants and fine views, Cherating is well worth a few days exploration. The beach can’t compare with the white-sand beaches of the Perhentians, but the mellow atmosphere is hard to resist.
