Cherating, Malaysia - Popular Beach Resort of Cherating

Cherating is a popular beach resort area and sleepy fishing village in the East Coast, located about 30 km (19 miles) north of Kuantan. I remember being in Cherating nearly 30 years ago when life was simpler and laid back. It wasn't on the tourist map back then and known only to the few backpackers who would rent huts along the beaches operated by the villagers.

Times have changed and now there are several 3 to 4-star resorts dotted along the beaches of Cherating. It is still a popular destination with the backpackers, who prefer to stay at the cheaper guesthouses and chalets (wooden huts but with better facilities). However, life outside the resorts haven't changed much and still remains a laid back fishing village.
