UST 80km from tip to toe, Kuala Gula - Tanjung Piandang shoreline is textbook Malaysia.
This corridor blends seaside flair with inland tropical warmth and its gems are snugged in unspoilt nooks and crannies not mentioned in any guidebooks or touristy maps. To say the least, it ticks all the right boxes for a dream countryside getaway
Beyond the sprawling mangrove forest and rice fields, romantics will fall in love with the captivating rusticl scene that is peppered with swaying palm trees, thatch-roofed huts, and of course, the fabulous array of local good-eats. It has pristine nature of Kuala Gula Bird Sanctuary, the ramshackle charm of Kuala Kurau's fishing villages and the rice farming culture of Tanjung Piandang. And oh, did we mention the legendary Pantai Ban Pecah beach too? The route has been popular with local historians, photographers and naturalists as its remoteness has immunised the region against mass tourism.
Some of the things to watch out for include monkey feeding (yes, wild ones), stepping into Hell's Temple (!) and your license to chill - sipping a cold beer while watching boats bring it the daily catch.
This journey is tailormade for anyone who wants to see the "other side" of Malaysia, or for beginners who want to skip the first-timers' experiences and head straight for the good stuff.
