Again,
this trip was made possible with my photo friends.
This time we toured along the Eastern Coast in Peninsular Malaysia. Each
beach along the eastern coast has its own characteristic. So, sit back
and enjoy the scenery!
"Pantai" is the malay word for "Beach". I placed the
original Malay name to each place so that u may come to visit next time!

Pantai Cherating (Cherating Beach)
This is awarded the best beach by me, cos the sky
is blue, the sea is dark blue and the sand is like talcum powder. And
when the wind blows, all the sand just get stuck onto my lens... yup!
the sand is that fine.

seen in a long time.

.02 Kijal
This beach has a bit of a fishy stench as it is
where the fishing boats comes back with their catch. It's nice to catch
a glimpse of the local daily life. The Eastern coast has freshest seafood
in Malaysia.

Windy!

.03 Pantai Kemasik in Kemaman District
This beach has two beautiful rocky features, coarse sand and strings of
seashells littered by the waves. I love the scenery but I do not really
like walking on the sand.. Ouch!
It is almost
sunset when we reached this beach, thus the beautiful skyline.

It's sunset!

.04 Pantai Dungun
This beach has a rock feature which overlooks a turquoise sea. The waters
are so clear that u can see slabs of rock on the shoreline. When we arrive,
we could see young boys jumping off the rock into the sea.
Awana takes an afternoon nap, unaware that a casuarina seed has fallen
on her.

.05 Marang
The beach in Marang is special. It has an idyllic laguna protected by
two lines of breakwaters. When there's a storm you can see a raging sea
on one side of the breakwaters and a calm laguna on the other.
Awana's sitting on a wooden structure built by the fishermen. Every evening,
a handful of fishermen will hang out at the breakwaters.
Another breakwaters shot. The strong yellow rays of sunset shine brightly
on my gals.

.06 Penarik
Penarik is a coastal village with a large coconut plantation, where you
can see the daily lives of the locals. The lifestyle is relaxing in these
areas.
Peaz watches as a local man harvest the coconuts. He ties a string to
a monkey who rapidly climbs into the leaves and plucks the coconuts. This
shot captured a tossed coconut in mid air. You will not be able to see
the monkey as it is hidden in the palms.
Peaz sits on a plucked coconut beside a fishing boat.
Just the two of them relaxing on the log.
I love this shot :)
