We left out the beaches, which you might say probably matter the most. The island is very popular among local youngsters who spend their weekends there, but as most Asian people, they don\u2019t like walking either. Hence, if you leave the main beaches, after a short walk or a kayak trip, you can easily find yourself alone on one of the many secluded beaches. This is what we loved the most in Perhentian, and in this post we will take you to the beaches of this tropical paradise.<\/p>\n<h2>The main beaches<\/h2>\n<p>The two main beaches of the island (where most people stay and where most of the accommodations are found) are <strong>Long Beach<\/strong> and <strong>Coral Bay<\/strong>. <strong>Long Beach<\/strong> is the most popular beach among backpackers, a beautiful long white sand beach.
