Beaches of Malaysia: The magic unravels on the coast

Malaysia is one of the very few countries that are hot and humid all year long. It also has many fascinating beaches, but all the best ones are generally owned by resorts. However, the advantage to this is that they would be really well maintained. Let's take a look at some of the options.

Pantai Teluk Belanga [Emerald Bay], Pangkor Laut: The Emerald Bay is located on a privately owned island off the western coast of Malaysia. It is often listed as one among the world's top ten beaches, with the bay in a crescent shape, having golden sand and emerald colored water. The best time to visit is between January and May.

Datai beach, Langkawi island: The beaches on this particular island are all regarded as being the perfect hideouts, since they are very much secluded from the rest of the world. The Datai beach, along with the Pantai Cenang and Pantai Tengah are the best choices for independent travelers. Langkawi also have many fantastic snorkelling sites, one of the best being the Palau Payar Marine Park, which also houses Malaysia's best coral reefs. The best time to visit is between November and May, when there is comparatively lower humidity.

Tioman island: In spite of the fact that there has been an exponential rate of development on this particular island, it has managed to retain its glory and natural beauty. Tioman is paradise for underwater divers, nature lovers and golfers. Like the Emerald Bay, here also, travelers will find golden sand beaches, located alongside the tropical jungle. The best time to visit is between March and September.

Long Beach, Kecil island, Perhentian Islands: This set of islands is a must visit for travelers going to Malaysia, particularly the budget ones. There are magnificent beaches with world class diving facilities along with very reasonably priced accommodation. Some of the other popular beaches, besides the Long Beach, are the Corel Bay on Kecil island, or the Besar island for smaller and more peaceful beaches like the Flora Bay. In case one is going in the peak season between June and August, it's best to book in advance. Other seasons to enjoy the best experiences in this region are between March and September.

Redang island, Redang archipelago: Most of the islands in this vicinity, so to speak, are uninhabited, although the ones are are inhabited are also a visual treat in their own way. The main attraction in the Redang island is the underwater life in the marine park, which makes it one of the perfect destinations in Malaysia for diving enthusiasts. The best time to visit is between March to October.

Turtle Beach and Golden Beach, Similajau National Park, Sarawak: The park has an area of 30 kms full of golden sand, exotic wildlife (185 species of bird ) and cliffs, along with waterfalls. The best time to visit is between April and September.

Being in touch is most important while one is out of country, but owing to the expensive calling charges, conversations are always cut short.
