One of the most beautiful places on my Asia tour was prevention Island. I stayed at the small island at Long Beach. The white sand and the blue water maked it like a dream. Even better was that you can snorkle from the beach and see such a great sealife! I saw sharks, Nemo\u2019s, Parrotfish and lots of other colorful fish I don\u2019t know. The coral was also really beautifull. The anomons and the big breathing water plants where awesome. I rented everyday a mask and snorkle for 5 RM. ($1.25) <\/p>\n

Hostel on Perhentian Island Malaysia<\/h2>\n

A cheap hostel on Perhentian island will cost 30 RM. And you can find them right at the point they drop you (the beach isn\u2019t that big) The most of the people just show up and find a hostel or accommodation on Perhentian Island. So that is what we did. We went to Lemon Grass that is on the left side of the beach (when you see it from the see) and rented a two person bungalow for 50RM a night. It is a plain bungalow with fan and limited electricity but definitely worth it for that price. I was in 20 steps on the beach and with 50 steps I was in the water.<\/p>\n

In the evening there are several good restaurants they offer almost the same but one is with a little bit more style than the other. I always went to the three places next to each other and ate barbecue, you can get awesome plates served with a drink, salad, fruit, and the fish or chicken you choose. I tried stingray, Shark, Kingfish and Barracuda \ud83d\ude00 <\/p>\n\n\t\t
