Penarik Beach

One of the cleanest beach in Terengganu as it does not suffer from overcrowded of visitors since the road to this beach is kind of tricky. But the journey and the view is completely worth it #meetkualalumpur

Can't take my eyes on Penarik Beach

Penarik beach Kg Baru was an awesome place to put on a bucket list . The beach and village environment was superb and WOW it's great to spend time here. The only things that really matters was the lovely beach , coconut trees, village houses, cows, goats, chicken, lovely and friendly people and many more. It's feel like we go back to the past and realise that how wonderful life was before. I believe we should preserve this natural heritage for the future generations to taste and appreciate how great was nature were. I cannot take my eyes on what I see during my stay here. Live like local people mixed with them, makes me more appreciate them. See it to believe it. Everything was so good and fantastic. definitely I will come back again. I love this place ❤️

Heartwarming attracted beach!

Among one of the beautiful beaches in Terengganu that is filled with hundreds of coconut trees and fishing villages. The beach stretches for a few kilometers as far as eyes can see. Pantai Penarik is one of the attractions of what Terrenganu's fine coast line has to offer. The beach is serene and amazingly beautiful, the beach is widely stretches for miles away. We can have a view of South China sea, with a stretch of clean beach. Terengganu’s beach is a bit unique as we would never find it too crowded due to the long stretch of beach. Pantai penarik is located 90km to the north of Kuala Terengganu. It’s become an attraction for people to go for short vocation or picnicking in the weekend. Especially people from Kelantan,it will take only around 2 hours to reach there. The most popular activities in Pantai Penarik is to indulge our stomach with a delicous and mouth watering fried seafoods. The seafood is deep fried freshly and served with the sauces to the customers. There are a variety of seafood that you can choose for chef to cook like fish, squids, prawn , crab and more. Do not to worries, the seafood will never finish because you will find many restaurant selling the same things through out the beach. I ‘ve been tried a few differents restaurant and i found their taste more a less just the same. If you linger the beach, you may come across with some fishermen either going out to sea or just returning with a boat full of their fresh catch. You can find pretty colourful boats in a row as well. Do not worries if you wish to spend a night in that area , there are also a few homestay and lodges available for rent just make a selection based on your budget. One of the stunning and beautiful lodges is Sekepeng Penarek. Situated near a fishing jetty in Kampung Mangkok which is next to pantai penarik. It is 30 minutes boat ride away from the islands of Redang, Perhentian and Lang Tengah. All five beach houses afford unobstructed views of the majestic South China Sea. Besides there are others hotel you can stay like Bayu Beach penarek, Pandan Laut Beach Resort and many more. Come and experience this, surely you will never be regreted. #staycation #gooutside #awesomepic #terengganu

Paya Bunga Hotel

Lovely hotel with great decor inspired by Malay traditional architecture. The room is spacious with clean bed and conplete amenities #meetkualalumpur

Highly recommended hotel if you want to come to Terengganu especially for Muslim. It has fascinating roof pool and the food is very delicious and has a lot of varieties. However, you must check you booking wisely in order to get a room with the window because half of the room does not have it. Enjoy your holiday😊 #terengganu #hotel

Paya Bunga Hotel, Terengganu

The buffet breakfast is affordable at around rm32 per pax (if not mistaken). The Roselle cafe is also a nice place to have dinner, with tasty menu at reasonable prices. i will come soon my rate : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#mytripvlog #2023travelwish #tripblazers #awesomepic #couplestrip

Awesome location and surroundings!

#mytripvlog #bucketlistreboot #tripblazers

Satisfied with the environment!

Once i remember, Duyong Marina Resort was 5 stars hotel. But, now this hotel is lack of maintainence. Everything looks old. However, the hotel have a nice design and great location. I’m pretty sure the hotel will be superb if they upgrade their facilities. The selection for breakfast was not so bad. You can try the signature Nasi Dagang Terengganu. The hotel also got a nice scenery, which you can see Terengganu Drawbridge from the breakfast place. Also, you can enjoy the swimming pool. Ambiance/Facilities - buggy transport, gymnasium, swimming pool Avg. Price per Person : 200++ Rating - 2/5 ⭐️⭐️ #terengganutrips #drawbridge #staycation

DUYONG MARINA RESORT, Terengganu!!

It was an incredible stay with family for a night there. The space for the room, absolutely good for honeymoon. They also have swimming pools, the views that you can go to take picture for your instagram feeds. I love how Terengganu serve us with many stunning resorts in their far from city place. The breakfast absolutely yes for me!! Rate: 9/10! #staycation #beachlife #foodie
