Part of the island hopping trip. We booked it from a travel agent right in front of AB Motel in Cenang Beach. RM25 for 3 islands. Very worthy. We took the 9am session. Beras Basah Island was our first stop. We have 1 hour to spend on this island. Initially, we were disappointed when we were on the way to... More

Last stop of the Island Hopping trip, after Tasik Dayang Bunting and Pulau Singa Besar. Nice soft white sandy beach. The stop here is about an hour, nothing much to do except swim and sunbathe. All over, you see signs that say 'No toilet here', so be warned. There is a stall that sells food and drink though.

Last stop on the island hopping tour which is worth doing. Looks gorgeous when arriving by boat but that feeling soon disappears when you see all the plastic waste amongst the trees on the shoreline and the beach in general. Obviously this is washed up but seriously distracts from the beautiful location.

The beach has good clean white sand, apart from that nothing really new ... the water sport activities stop after 4 so make sure you visit early. Snorkeling is also there, but that too largely depends on the water level ... the real problem is that there are no toilets or changing areas.

Too many people on the island aking d beach too crowded. We had to walk to a less crowded area but the area had more rocks/corals etc. Despite that d waves was good and water is clearer. Just need to be careful that you dont step on corals or sea urchin. Boats are free to park very near the beach... More

This island is the last stop in any island hopping tour you choose. First it will be the Dayang Bunting Lake, Eagle Feeding and Bras Basah Island. We booked a boat for ourselves and it cost me 250. I feel the beach was clean but with no garbage bins, litter can be found assimilated with the tiny sand crabs..Pity how... More

came here as the last stop of the island hopping. this place is nice to relax but not the place to go snorkelling. i felt bad for a couple who bought snorkelling gear and couldnt find much at this beach. but other than that come here to relax and enjoy the beach! :)

I just love the way it looks. Although we were surrounded by so many people, we both had our own peace of mind.
