Beaches
The main reason people
go to Cherating is for the beaches - Chempedak beach, Chendor Beach
and Balok Beach, all of which offer fine sands, clear waters, watersports
and generally everything you'd expect at a beach. The area is also
known for its resort, of which the most famous is undoubtedly Club
Med, as that was the first resort that ever set up shop in Cherating.
