Surfing in Malaysia
Malaysia may not be the first place that comes to mind when you think about surfing, but it has had an emerging surf scene since the 1990s, especially in Cherating The local tourism and culture ministry has been placing efforts to further develop it by organising regional and international surfing competitions on the regular. This has helped propel Cherating as a home to surfers from far and near.
Other less well-known surfing spots around Malaysia can be found along Terengganu, in Johor, and in Sabah. Before we talk about where you can get your surf on in this gorgeous place, you need to know how to get to Cherating first.
