Stretch of wide beach on the west of the island with a high concentration of budget (and upper price) accommodation. It is a lively place also at night with various bars and restaurants.

Despite being the most crowded beach on the island, it’s still quiet and laid back. The chances are good that you will the beach almost to yourself. This is also the place to look for laundry service, bike rental or to get tickets to Scuba diving and snorkeling around Pulau Payar Marine Park
