One beach synonymous with Asia's first Club Mediterranee
is Cherating. Located approximately 47km north
of Kuantan, this world famous Club occupies only
a small part of the beach. A variety of accommodations
are available in Cherating, including offordable
but comfortable rooms and chalets.
Foremost among Cherating's attractions is the
rustic atmosphere and warm hospitality of the
village folk who usually play host to its visitors.
To enjoy this friendly environment, you can arrange
to stay at an inexpensive village hut. Cherating
also offers the opportunity to shop for souvenirs,
and to see how village maidens nimbly weave pandanus
leaves into mats, hats, bags and other handicrafts.
Close to Cherating, approximately 1 ½ km
away, lies Chendor Beach. A favorite sunbathing
spot noted for its seclusion, it is also home
to Green turtles and the occasional Giant Leatherback
turtle. To catch their annual migration, come
between early July and September, when they swim
ashore nightly to nest and lay their eggs.
On the southeastern coast of Pahang, approximately
118km from Kuantan, is Lanjut Beach
in Rompin. A golden stretch of sand, it has a
host of recreational facilities, including scuba
diving and swimming. For the golfer, one of the
best courses in the state can be found nearby,
at the Lanjut Golden Beach Golf Resort.
Visitors can also travel 65km from Lanjut and
make a day trip to Endau-Rompin State Park. One
of the oldest rainforest jungles in the world,
it provides an intriguing glimpse of wildlife
in their natural habitat.
How to get there
Visitors to Cherating should make prior arrangements
with the hotels for pick-up services at Kuantan
town or from the airport. Traveling by taxi or
self-drive car are the most practical modes of
transportation to reach Lanjut.
