Introducing Peninsular Malaysia – West Coast

Malaysia’s multiculturalism is best viewed along the west coast. Nestled against the Straits of Melaka, protected, for the most part, against swells and tsunamis, this part of the peninsula has entertained ­foreign visitors since the days of early traders. Such a convenient shipping route has, over the centuries, created a cosmopolitan populace, well-schooled in English. The beaches and islands of this coast don’t compare to those in the east or in other areas of Southeast Asia, but offer a laid-back opportunity to experience an authentic Malay way of life.
