Things to do in Cherating

  1. Nabill Café

    Eat where the locals do and save a handful of ringgit. Choose your fresh seafood then watch it get grilled in a delicious spicy sambal.

  2. Duyong Restaurant

    Raised on stilts at the western end of the beach, this offers unbroken views around the bay. There’s a large selection of seafood, steaks, poultry and vegetables, but it’s the setting that is superlative. Try the tom yam (hot and spicy seafood soup, RM8).

  3. Cherating River Activities

    Night-time firefly boat tours along the mangroves upriver are a Cherating activity par excellence. The best tours are led by Hafiz, a long-time firefly enthusiast and self-made expert at Cherating River Activities.

  4. Payung Restaurant

    Off the main road against the quiet riverside, this semi-outdoor hang-out serves thin-crust pizzas and a selection of pastas (all from RM17). There’s often groovy music playing and a friendly extended family to hang out with.
