EXPLORING THE REMOTE BEACHES OF MALAYSIA’S EAST COAST!

Words Chris Pressler // Photos Kerstin Reiger

The coast is lined with huge palm trees and their leaves almost touch the South Chinese Sea. They have survived tornados, heavy storms and rain floods. The long sandy beach looks untouched, maiden, freshly cleaned and runs relatively steep down towards the ocean where a powerful beach break produces a periodical sound. It’s an impressive scene with the light from the sun, which is already low over the green mystic hills. We park George’s white Pajero in the first lane between two palm trees. There are no other cars within sight. Welcome to the real Malaysia!
