Cherating Malaysia

View On Black

 

Cherating is a beach town in Pahang, Malaysia, located about 47 km north of Kuantan. It is the location of Asia’s first Club Mediterranee ("Club Med").

 

Cherating also houses a cultural village and a turtle sanctuary. The turtles lay their eggs between July and August.

 

The most well known wave in Malaysia and the epicentre for Malaysian surfing. A left point break that peels over a very long sand bar into Cherating beach. The potential here is for kilometer long rides but most days when it is working you will have to put up with only a couple of hundred! Like the rest of the region Cherating relies on the monsoon generated windswell and can be surfed even on the smallest of days.
