Romantik Beach is probably one of the most idyllic places in the already idyllic island of Perhentian Kecil. There was only our boat parked on the beach. This probably because one needs to walk quite a bit to get to Romantik Beach I didn’t manage to find out how to get to Coral Bay from here but I’m pretty sure there is a way to get there. The small cove is secluded and there were no establishments nearby. However, Romantik Beach is not just about the beach, which was already great to begin with, but there are also some snorkeling opportunities here. I no longer donned my life jacket here since I didn’t really plan of snorkeling here. I was just in the water to seek shelter from the hot afternoon sun.

Without my sunscreen, I would probably be toast after this trip with the hot afternoon sun bearing down on us. We tried hiding behind our boat for a while but it wasn’t really that much good. Swimming and keeping as much of my body in the water as possible is still the best relief. I already forsee myself having a sore body the next day oweing to the unintended exercise that swimming brings. As for my co-passengers, it seems that there really is a fine patch of snorkeling here, it was a bit far from the shore and deep enough for me not to venture any further. I can only look at the photos with envy.
