Malaysia - Beach Suggestions
Does anyone have recommendations for good beaches in peninsular Malaysia? My parents and I will be spending a weekend in Malaysia and would like to do one day at the beach. We will be driving from Singapore and would like to stay somewhere within a 2-4 hour drive of Singapore. We don't have time to take a ferry ride to an island so any suggestions actually on the peninsula would be great.

I'm also interested if anyone has suggestions! |
With those criteria, I can't think of any place in Malaysia that fits the bill. I would think that if you wanted a beach that wasn't in Singapore, the closest place would be Bintan Island in Indonesia, which is just a 45 minute ferry ride from Singapore.

The beaches I know of in Malaysia are farther from SIngapore than that. I enjoyed Kuantan, but it's a short flight away. Michael's right, Bintan is closest, but the beaches there are not great.

I thought Perhentian Besar was a wonderful place to relax and snorkel but it's not even close to meeting your reqs.
|
well i just looked up airfare to Malaysia and it averages $2,500+, so that is out of the budget!

You should certainly be able to get to Malaysia for less than that. Look at alternate routings.

Really! Tiger advertises a headline rate of S$19. You probably won't get that, but you should be able to get a round trip for under US$100 on Tiger, Jet Star Asia, etc.
