2) Tanjung Rhu.
Tanjung Rhu, located in the north, is also known as the ‘Casuarina Beach’ for its abundance of Casuarina trees rather than the usual palms and coconuts. Tanjung Rhu is sheltered by the curve of the bay while its waters are shallow and warm. Life here is low, relaxed and soothing, perfect for a therapeutic getaway. During the low tide, it is also possible to walk across a sandbank to some nearby islands; Pulau Pasir and Pulau Gasing.
Situated 20 kilometers from Kuah town, this beautiful beach is a coastline rich with coral and marine life. The long stretch of beach is fringed with shady Casuarina trees, which are found in abundance in the area. A striking feature of this beach is the little rocky outcrop of Chabang Island rising out from the sea. During low tide, it is possible to walk across the sandy stretch linking the beach to the island. There are numerous caves nearby, namely Gua Cerita and Gua Siam. Horse riding is also available at the Tanjung Rhu Riding Center.
Tanjung Rhu is home to one of Malaysia's most unusual eco systems. Within 1,000 acres, the mangroves, water ways and sandy beaches create a kaleidoscope of fauna and flora in their natural habitat that is nature's lover's paradise.
