The endless stretch of sandy white beaches gently being
lapped up by the sea, the untouched underwater realm of
colourful marine life, the beautiful virgin tropical
rainforests; these are among the sights that you will find
on the paradise islands of Malaysia.
The
friendliness of the locals also makes it quite simple for
visitors to jump right in and learn of the many different
customs, practices and the quaint culture of the people. Besides, where else can you find a place where you can
sample the diverse cuisine of Asia all under one roof.
It would be an impossible task to describe every one of
Malaysia's thousands of beautiful beaches. Ranging from
the powdery stretches of sand that characterize the
eastern coastline of Peninsular Malaysia to the black sand
beach of Pantai Pasir Hitam and the smooth pebble beach of
Pantai Batu Kerikil, Malaysia's shores offer more idyllic
locales than one could explore in many lifetimes. In
addition to the plenitude of beaches along the the
peninsula and the coast of Eastern Malaysia, the country
also possesses over a hundred tropical islands.
