Map | Introduction

accessible via Kuala Besut jetty.
Kuala Besut on the coast south of Kota Bharu, has a reasonably pleasant
beach and is an interesting, though grubby, fishing village. A visit
to this town is usually just a preliminary to a trip to the Perhentian
Island.

Bahru airport to Kuala Besut jetty. Kota Bahru Airport is the recommended
