Long Beach, Perhentian Kecil
Pasir Panjang
The longest white sand beach on the east coast of Perhentian Kecil, lined with backpacker lodges, dive shops and beach bars, with fire dancing after dark.
Long Beach (Pasir Panjang) is a roughly 800-meter stretch of fine white sand on the east coast of Perhentian Kecil, with clear turquoise water. It is the island's busiest backpacker hub. Along the beach you'll find budget wooden huts, dive centers, restaurants and beach bars, and fire dancing and parties often happen in the evening. Waves can be larger after the northeast monsoon, so swim within the lifeguard flags. Speedboats from Kuala Besut take about 35 to 45 minutes, and smaller boats ferry passengers from the speedboat to the beach. The island has no ATMs, so bring plenty of cash. Malaysia is an Islamic country, so alcohol is limited on the island and costs more.
