Nipah Bay
Teluk Nipah
A secluded bay on the southwest coast with just a few wooden huts, where a river mouth meets the sand and rainforest backs the beach. Ideal for switching off completely.
Nipah Bay lies south of Genting village. It is a small bay surrounded by rainforest, where a river meets the sea beside the sand and forms a freshwater lagoon you can swim in. The bay has only a handful of wooden guesthouses, with no road or shops. After dark, only the waves and insects can be heard, making it one of the best places on Tioman to unplug. The reef areas on both sides of the bay are good for snorkelling, and it is convenient to charter a boat from here to the Dragon Horn Peaks and Asah Waterfall in the south. Some ferries stop here in peak season, so confirm with your accommodation in advance. Alternatively, charter a boat from Genting, which takes about 10-15 minutes, or walk along the coastal path. Supplies are limited, so bring cash.
