Latest reviews on Terengganu's beaches

Coral Bay Perhentian Kecil

8 Kazzy H

This beach is a great place to unwind, far from the hustle and bustle of Long Beach. You can find shade under the trees, but watch out for falling coconuts! There's also a platform where you can swim out to. The water is mostly sandy, so it's not too rocky, and you might even spot some fish while snorkeling. All in all, if you're seeking relaxation, I would definitely recommend this beach.

Kemasik Beach

10 Nara Zin

The Terengganu coast boasts an awe-inspiring expanse of beach that is simply breathtaking. Unlike other tourist hotspots, it remains relatively unspoiled and tranquil, albeit a tad remote from Kuala Lumpur. The crystalline waters and seemingly endless stretch of sand are nothing short of mesmerizing, making it the perfect spot to unwind and soak up the sun while feeling the gentle sea breeze and warm waters envelop you.

Pandak Beach

10 Soren Kwan Liang

The beach offers of soft, exquisite sand and friendly locals. It is a perfect spot facing the South China Sea. However, if driving to the beach, one must exercise extreme caution and avoid driving into sandy areas to prevent the vehicle's tires from getting stuck. I am immensely grateful to the kind-hearted beach-goers who came to my aid. The people of Terengganu are truly helpful and lovely.

Landing Beach

6 László Kovács.

This tranquil beach, once uninhabited, now boasts a dirt road that was constructed to transport the necessary components for the wind and solar farms situated atop the hill, towering 100 meters above sea level. Although the road may appear worn, it is still accessible by foot. On occasion, this peaceful stretch of sand plays host to the nesting of turtles.

Jambu Bongkok Beach

10 Nathan Kim.

The picturesque Kampung beach exudes tranquility and is a perfect spot to capture stunning Instagram-worthy photos. The serene ambiance is enhanced by the absence of any other visitors during our visit.

Penarik Beach II

10 Nexova Z (Syahir)

I highly recommend this beach for anyone looking to unwind, spend quality time with loved ones, and soak up some sun. The pristine cleanliness of the beach is truly impressive, and the peaceful atmosphere makes it an ideal spot for both morning sunrises and evening sunsets. It's also a fantastic location for couples looking for a romantic getaway.
