The East coast of Malaysia is rural and lacks many traditional tourist attractions. The miles of unspoiled beaches and quiet islands still draw many tourists each year. Kuantan, Kapas Island and Cherating are three of the many cities on the East coast of Malaysia. Visitors can find comfortable hotels along the coast, like Grand Hotel Continental Kuantan, Kapas Island Resort and Suria Cherating Beach Resort.
