Gently sloping sands and fairly shallow, sparkling water give Penarik the ideal ambience and make it the perfect setting for sunbathers and fun seekers who want a quiet, serene vacation spot to while away the hours in uninterrupted bliss.

Located in the district of Setiu, 50 km north of Kuala Terengganu, the beach is popular with the locals, with ample chalet and accommodation for out-of-town visitors. Penarik's beach is typified by endless miles of a straight and white sandy beach, dotted with tall swaying coconut trees.
