Cherating Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Cherating is most easily reached from Kuantan. From Kuantan’s station for northbound buses on Jln Besar, catch a bus marked ‘Kemaman’ and ask to be dropped at Cherating (look for a sign by the road that reads ‘Pantai Cherating’). Buses leave every 30 minutes (RM4, one hour, 6.45am to 8pm). When coming from the north, any bus heading for Kuantan will drop you on the main road. A taxi from Kuantan should cost about RM40. Call the Cherating Taxi Service (581 9355).

From Cherating to Kuantan, wave down a Kuantan-bound bus from the bus stop on the highway (Route No 3).

Travelpost (581 9796; 9am-11pm) can arrange long-distance bus tickets and taxis (convenient for those heading north to places like Kuala Terengganu or Kota Bharu).
