Watersports
Are on the agenda for many visitors, although the waters are a bit too murky for scuba diving and a bit too calm for surfing or more extreme pursuits. swimming is ok along most of the northern coast especially near the international-class hotels as they do their best to keep the beaches and water clean. you can also try out jet skis and parasailing near most of the hotels along batu feringhi beach.

Beaches - The secluded beaches of Pantai Kerachut, Muka Head, and Teluk Kampi are located on the northern coast. There is an old lighthouse at Muka Head beach. You can reach these beaches by either hiking 1 - 3 hours or by hiring a fisherman's "sampan" boat from the small village of Teluk Bahang. The village itself has a kilometre-long beach and a small Scout campsite.
Jungle Trekking & Camping
Enjoy walking through the reserve forest in teluk bahang, go to the northwestern cape of the island where there are unspoiled beaches and an old lighthouse. for a quicker and more relaxed way to reach the secluded beaches there, approach the locals at kampung nelayan for boat rides to beaches like muka head, pantai kerachut, and teluk kampi. kampung nelayan is located less than 1km down the road northwest of the small roundabout located at teluk bahang.
