To the regular visitors, the name
Cherating Beach is synonymous with Club Mediterranean
(Club Med). This is natural because the
first Club Med in Asia is located here. Actually, only a small
part of the beach is administered by this world famous
Club while the rest is a populated area offering excellent
beaches. Situated only 47 kilometers from Kuantan, its unique
features are the rustic atmosphere and the warm
hospitality of the village folk.
Cherating also offers
you the chance to shop for handicraft and see cultural
performances. Village maidens nimbly weave the 'pandanus'
leaves into mats, hats, bags and other inexpensive
lightweight souvenirs. Cultural shows include wayang
kulit (shadow play) and silat (the Malay art of self-defense)
are being held on a regular basis while further
north, another 30 kilometers away is the equally
beautiful Balok Beach.
