Perhentian Island, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world
Perhentian Island, or in Malay, the two islands Pulau Perhentian Besar and Pulau Perhentian Kecil (besar means 'big' and kecil means 'small' in Malay), are two jewels located 45 min away by boat from the Est seaside of North of Malaysia. As a consequence, it is in the China Sea we can swiw there. These two twin islands are a part of Terrenganu State, but we have to cross Kelantan State to reach them, which is located at the extreme North of Malaysia, and has a borderline with Thailand. This State, as his neighbour State, is a rigorist islamic State, where for instance the law forbid alcohols.
Accomodations are available on both islands Besar and Kecil. Pulau Perhentian Kecil is the more crowed of the two islands, particularly Pasir Panjang (Long Beach). This beach offers a marvelous landscape, and also a quite animated place : several restaurents-bars with hype techno-house music.
Malay people who works in contact with travellers are very kind, and don't hesitate to communicate. They mostly live peacefully and often play on the beach together: volley-ball, freesbee, etc...
To reach Perhentian is rather simple: go to Kota Bahru (there is an airport) and take a taxi to Kuala Besut, where is the jetty of all transport by boat companies to Perhentian islands. There, you can buy your two-way ticketsand you will be bring directly to the beach of your resort (you can choose your resort at the jetty with the transport company, they will check the available rooms by phone).
I came back there in August 2006 : I will add several photos in the future.
More information about diving. (I have passed my Open Water diploma in August 2006 at Perhentian)
All photographies of the beach were taken at the beginning of August 2003 and in August 2006.

Village Perhentian (1), 3 ans après
Je suis retourné en 2006 au même endroit, à l'embarquadère du village Perhentian où j'avais pris une si belle photo... J'ai constaté hélas, que le site avait bien changé, car des rochersont été amenés.

Lemongrass Restaurant sur Long Beach, aout 2006
Restaurant à éviter en raison du service de très mauvaise qualité. J'avais commandé depuis 1h quand on m'a dit qu'il n'y avait plus de poulet et qu'il fallait aller en chercher dans un autre restaurant ! Les mauvaises langues diront que le service est moins bon car assuré par des Malais oisifs, contrairement aux autres restaurants tenus par des Chinois...
