If it's a sunny day, it's best to be cautious about dehydration, but don't worry because there are plenty of food stalls available.

This serene coastal stretch is a fantastic spot to witness the magnificent sunrise. The beach is fairly expansive, offering ample space for a leisurely stroll or a refreshing jog by the shore.

Balok Beach
10 Kara Hunter.

What a delightful spot! It's not overrun with tourists, so you can actually enjoy the sand and surf without feeling like a sardine. Plus, it's perfect for little ones to frolic in the waves. I can't wait to return and soak up more of this idyllic seaside setting.

Mawar Beach
10 Z X (Rotkehlchen)

Unfortunately, there were no available rooms at Nazri1 in Tioman during our stay. The place appears to be in good condition, and the beach is excellent. The restaurant on-site is definitely worth checking out, as they serve very good food. I had the opportunity to stay there twice, in 1982 and 1985, and I have fond memories of Nazri's place, which was one of the few establishments that offered room rentals.
