2 miles from the Perhentian Channel
This spectacular sandy bay with crystal clear water is home to the Arawana Perhantian Resort. Anchor in 6-9 metres outside the cleared channel and dinghy through the coral heads to a small dinghy jetty.
The resort offers fine food and reasonably priced rooms; there is only boat access to and from the busy tourist communities in the channel.
Just 36 miles north is the town of Kota Bharu and the Thai border.
