Teluk Pauh, Perhentian Besar
Teluk Pauh
A white-sand bay on the northwest coast of Perhentian Besar, home to long-established resorts. Clear water and many shallow reefs make it suitable for families and casual snorkeling.
Teluk Pauh lies on the northwest coast of Perhentian Besar, facing Perhentian Kecil. It is one of the best beach areas on the big island, and it is where the long-established Perhentian resorts are located. The bay is shallow with gentle waves, and snorkeling from the rocky shore can reveal turtles and parrotfish. Perhentian Besar as a whole is quieter than the small island and is popular with families and holidaymakers, with a concentration of mid- to high-end resorts, so prices are higher too. Water taxis run from here to Long Beach.
