Heaven’s In Malaysia

In my opinion, if you like long wide beaches fringed with coconut palm trees, with fine wire sand and aquamarine water, the closest you can get in Tioman is Juara beach. But you just cannot stay there. The Sandflies will eat you. Salang beach also has fine white sand, coconut trees and the most azure water in the island, but to many broken corals in the sand, too overbuilt and it has Sandflies and also little bugs in the water that bite you (but don't leave itchy bites like the Sandflies). The beach at Berjaya has yellowish coarse sand, but it is long, fringed with palm trees and probably less sand flies. Ayer Batang is a small beach with fine white sand and Sandflies, and lots of bugs in the water. I did not descend upon the Tunamaya beach, but there is no way I would pay their prices to be isolated at a very small beach that is over built, no matter how impressive their very marketed view of the twin peaks is from the island.
The food overall is quite great, but avoid eating at the resorts. You will save money and enjoy better food if you eat at the local places located everywhere. Have a good trip and do patronise the local restaurant within a walking distance from the entrance to Berjaya, if you're going there. #tioman #island #pahang #berjaya #malaysia #heavensgate
