Over the years with the rise of hotels, beach resorts and improved connectivity, the Perhentian Islands are a hot favourite among tourists and locals alike. Once a popular fishing ground for fishermen, these islands now house the beaches in Malaysia. Here one can find deep turquoise waters, the shores lined with palm trees and rich marine life with coral reefs. Walk through the trails that cut through dense forests and connect different strips of beaches on the island. The Perhentian is made up of seven islands but only two are fully accessible- the big and the small. The small one is called Pulau Perhentian Kecil and the big one is Pulau Perhentian Besar. Do not miss activities like Scuba diving, snorkelling, kayaking tours and jungle trekking. On the turtle beach, watch sea turtles come to lay eggs and volunteer to help incubate these eggs. If you are in no mood for adventure, pick a beach resort and enjoy your day laying back and sipping on coconuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best time to visit Perhentian Island is between March and October. Water taxis to and from the mainland are available for RM50 to RM70. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Situated at the Northern end of Langkawi, next to the Patai Pasir Hitam, the Tanjung Rhu is one of the most secluded beaches in Malaysia. Tucked away from the heavy crowds of the city, this serene beach has crystal clear waters and white sands. The beach is only 50 metres wide but serves a pacifying aura and captivating sights. In Malay, the word Tanjung means cape and Rhu means the diverse species on the beach. So when on a visit to this beach don\u2019t forget to explore the natural flora and fauna. The pollution-free waters, limestone cliffs and almost no crowd make this beach a perfect backdrop for Instagram-worthy pictures. Also, explore the dense green forests with small lakes and campers. Take a boat cruise from here to explore the mangrove spread in the region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This island can be visited at any time of the year and there is no entry fee also. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
