Kemasik Beach Terengganu

Kemasik Beach Terengganu.  Slightly further north of Chukai is the Kemasik Beach that looks dazzling and inviting. Here, one can visit typical Malay villages. The people here are warm and friendly who will not hesitate to invite strangers to their abode should they request assistance. Some fishermen here still use the elegantly ornamented traditional fishing boats to go fishing and perhaps you can follow them out to sea for an unforgettable day trip experience. Here, traditional beach fishing is still being practiced. Long stretches of fish net are cast out in the waters using small sampan acting to lure schools of anchovies towards the beach. The net are then pulled by a community of fishermen including whoever wants to lend their helping hands for a bountiful catch of the day. There are eating stalls, children’s playground, ample parking spaces as well as toilets and resting areas.
