Detail
Pantai Cenang Beach is also well known for the fantastic sunset views. So if you come to the beach in the afternoon, stay back to see how the sun sets at the backdrop of the islands at far. During this time while the daylight is still there, you will often find the locals and families playing volleyball on the beach. You can join them and play a game or two if you so like.
The loose sands start right from the roadside and continue towards the waters for some 30 yards or so. The beach area close to the water is hardened and you can comfortably walk on this part of the beach. You will often see cars and jeeps being driven close to the water.
