The beachfront promenade lets you stroll between casual seafood spots and colorful night markets without missing a sunset. Beachside cafes serve fresh coconuts and Malaysian specialties with ocean views that can't be beat. Most visitors stay at mid-range resorts with direct beach access, though budget options exist a short walk inland.
