Explore Cherating Beach
Take a river trip
bijo69 Says:
Another thing one absolutely should do in Cherating is to take a boat trip on the Cherating river. The day tour takes 1,5 hrs and I saw lots of wildlife: monkeys, snakes, lizards, kingfisher and other birds. Usually there is a departure at 9am and at 4pm and a ticket is...
Hit the Beach
bijo69 Says:
Of course the main reason to come Cherating is the beach. It's long and wide, but unfortunately the water is a bit too shallow for swimming. The western end of the beach was very popular with surfers, especially with beginners.During my stay Cherating was very quiet, but I...
Breakfast in Hai Peng Chukai

I risk too much repeating of a tip that might have been given by hundreds of other visitors to cherating but i love sipping black kampung coffee by the roadside cafe Hai Peng, under branches of shadowy raintree.. while chickens run around my feet.. chukai fast becoming busy...
Turtle Sanctuary
akikonomu Says:
The turtle sanctuary is a stone's throw away (literally) from the entrance to the club. Every year between June to September, the sanctuary releases baby turtles into the sea at night. Otherwise, it's a small place explaining the breeding habits and environment of the sea...

Duyong seafood cherating: Conned by ridiculous reviews!!!
AlvinAsir Says:
After checking out many reviews and raves about this so called restaurant, my family delegation of 7 adults and 5 kids decided to try it out.. Firstly driving into the car park, we thought we were driving into a sleazy red light area, then we found our table and ordered our...
Duyong Restaurant: Great views
bijo69 Says:
The Duyong restaurant is errected on stilts at the Western end of the beach. It's a great place to sit and enjoy good food and a cold drink.I've had fried rice (ok, the vegetarian choice is very limited) and a beer. Prices are very reasonable and service good.

Restoran Tong Juan: Get Taxed - Go To Chukai (Just Kidding).
wdominic Says:
This restaurant is situated outside of the Cherating area. However, a quick drive will lead you into Terengganu and into the Kemaman area. Should you be on the look out for Chinese food, this is an option. Drive time is approximately 20 or 30 mins from memory. Please check...

Driving to Cherating
genie47 Says:
If you got your own transportation, it is one of the best ways to explore Malaysia. Going to Cherating from the south (Singapore) can be long. From JB, you need to get to Kota Tinggi first before hitting Trunk Road 3 up north past Mersing, Kuala Rompin, Pekan and Kuantan.A...
Seri Delima Keropok: Tasty Keropok Lekor, Satar n Otak-otak
