You don't really have to go all the way to Bali or burn your pocket paying for pricey "package" trips to Pulau Redang to find good beaches. Recently, I drove up to a beach in Cherating, Pahang - somewhere close to the famed
Club Med resort. As my wife and children aren't sun lovers, I left them in the hotel. Except, for an elderly Caucasian couple, I had the beach all to myself. Not that I needed the whole beach. But think of the bliss, the peace, and the sheer joy of simply doing nothing!
