iNFO :

Cherating is located about 50 kilometres north of Kuantan Town. The place is the last popular beach destination before Pahang, Terengganu border near Kemaman. Whenever Cherating is mentioned, beach aficionados would normally conjure images of lazy afternoon on the at kampung Cherating lama. The place came to its woprldwide fame in the 60s when backpackers flocked to the place to experience the pristine innocence of the area. Through word of mounth, which was later picked up by travel publishers in the likes of Lonely Planet, Footprints, Rough Guide and others, Cherating soon found itself languishing on another level of international popularity.

Today, the area from kampung Cherating up to the states's border with Terengganu is dotted with luxurious resorts, including Impiana Cherating, Suria Cherating, Legend Resort, Club Mediteranee and Holiday Villa. All these resorts area on the beachfront but the beach themselves are not exclusive but open to the punlic. The beaches here are more open to the elements and can be rough but exciting at times. Even if the crashing waves cause the view along the beach to be somewhat misty with the spray's, this only enhauces the dramatics vistas on Cherating's northern beaches.

The village at Cherating lama, now known as kampung Budaya Cherating offers a unique kind of ambiance with budget stays providing spartan chalet and lodges seattered throughout the area. Weekend is all about confusion and congestion when locals and tourists vie for the best spots on the casuarina-lined beach.
