Most holiday goers head over to Cherating for the beach as it's one of the cleaner locations in the country which is not as crowded as many beaches along the west coast. The water is also great to swim in, and it's one of the top surfing spots in Malaysia, attracting surfers from around the world. Besides being only known for its beaches one can even experience the local culture; from going on a magical tour on the river, quad bike rides to staying at the rustic and eco-nature resort of Club Med Cherating.
