The east coast of the Malaysian Peninsula is home to some of the country’s most unspoilt beaches, forests and islands, so makes a welcome spot for a relaxing break on any Malaysian holiday.
The best time to visit the seasonal east coast is between April and October, with the high season running between June and August. The east coast essentially shuts down outside of this period, so it is not advisable to visit.
The east coast is dived into three regions, Kelantan, Pahang and Terengganu, offering great variety for those looking for a relaxing break.
