Kampung Genting
A traditional Malay fishing village on the southern west coast with a Chinese community, a modest mosque and pier, ideal for experiencing island daily life.
Kampung Genting is one of the larger traditional villages on Tioman's west coast. Residents are mainly Malay fishermen, and Chinese families run general stores and small restaurants. The village has a mosque, a school and a small pier. The beaches here are a mix of rock and fine sand, and fewer tourists visit than in the north. Accommodation is mainly family-run wooden huts and a few small to mid-sized resorts, which are relatively affordable. The sea near the pier is clear, and schools of fish often gather there. A coastal path south of the village leads to Nipah Bay. Ferries stop at the Genting jetty, and it is convenient to charter a boat from here to Mukut village for the Dragon Horn Peaks or to Asah Waterfall. The village suits travellers who want to escape the crowds and experience fishing-village life at a slow pace.
