Beautiful quaint fishing villages dot the coastal line of Malaysia. A visit to one of these villages should not be missed. This is where one may breathe and drink in the simple and yet colourful lives of Malaysia’s fishermen.
Here, fishermen normally put out to sea at dawn and return in the early afternoon to sell their catch on the beach. You may enjoy the experience of haggling over prices and the sorting and weighing of the catch that provide an interesting cacophony against the picturesque backdrop of gaily painted boats lining the beach. |
