Kuantan
One of the few major urban conglomerations on the east coast of the Malay Peninsula, Kuantan forms the metropolitan heart of greater Pahang province, also acting as the gateway to its wealth of scintillating beaches. These are at their best at spots like Teluk Cempedak and Balok, which enjoy all the seclusion of being on the far side of the country from KL and the bustling resort towns of Penang to the north. They are also famed for their super-fresh seafood eateries, which are often packed with local windsurfers taking a break from the swells over platters of barbequed otak-otak fish cakes. Kuantan tour guides also often recommend heading out to explore the dilapidating tin mines at Sungai Lembing (which were once the largest of their kind in the world), the glowing illuminations of the Kampung Kuantan Firefly Park, and the natural climes and waterfalls of the Pandan River Forest Reserve just to the west.
