Perhentian for the 3rd year in a row

Its me again.....yes, this is my 3rd time to Perhentian and still loving it! :)

Well, for those of you who want to go, you can fly via Air Asia to Kota Bahru (well...perhentian is in Terengganu, but its actually way on top, much closer to Kota Bahru...which explains why you fly to KB instead of Kuala Terengganu)...and you can get a taxi from the airport to Kuala Besut for around RM80-RM90.

I revisited my long lost relatives in Kuala Besut (not!) =P Kush will love this pic! hehe.


The boat ride from Kuala Besut to Perhentian is about half an hour or so (not too far away) and costs about RM70 per head (if I remember right) for return boat ride.
I was staying at Sharila, Coral Bay. Not my first time staying on Coral Bay, but in that resort.
The beach at Coral Bay....
I believe this could be the OLD jetty....well not anymore obviously.
Sharila Resort
The chalets are very kampung style....feels like you're staying in the jungle. Yes, there were alot of trees....

I made some lil' frens....so cute!!!

Coral Bay
You can actually walk to Long Beach from Coral Bay. There is a trail through the island...its about a 10 minute walk....
Finally at Long Beach.....an ice cold banana chocolate shake mmm.....heaven!

You can rent an umbrella for RM10...and you get a big bottle of mineral water for free...oh and mats too....

All you need for the beach...a good hat, an interesting book and sunblock...lots of it.
The water at Long Beach...absolutely crystal clear!



Romantic beach is another beach reachable from Sharila Resort. It's nice if you wanna avoid the crowd....very private....and that makes it romantic i suppose...hence the name =P



Well the 4 days flew by in a jiffy and it was finally time to leave.....so sad...back to reality...
