Unwinding into 34: Look see

 After checking into the hotel, we decided to explore the neighborhood on foot.

 Depending on which hotel you stay in, it'll be a different beach. This was ours. I did enough research to know that Pangkor Sandy Beach resort gave the best cheapest rate of them all but I forgot to look at its surroundings.

 Barely a minute of walk away and you're greeted with this. I don't know about you but this does feel good.

 We were there close to 5pm and there was barely any living soul around. The sun was still up and showed no signs (yet) of waning.

 Later on, a group of (possibly) China tourists dropped by to quite possibly literally admire the sea as they sat underneath that tree on the left and looked out at the ocean.

 After all, with a view like this, who could blame them?

 Water as far as the eye can see. Or the camera can zoom in my case. Yes, I learned my lesson this time and brought my camera along 📷 Best decision made in awhile. Click on images without the watermark for the full size.

 Unfortunately, when you look down, you'll be greeted with this too: washed up rubbish. Well, not all are washed up as some were thrown at the beach. The most common of them are plastic food boxes and even some polystyrene box. As you explore further, it's evident that majority of people are here for:

booze

 It's sad because the water was quite clear but all that rubbish and decay turned it slightly murky.

 We decided to go on an adventure and walked down the beach despite the heat. As we moved further and further away, the scenery changed a bit.

 Despite the lack of options in terms of shops for food/souvenir/etc, I felt it was good to come here during the low season as you don't have to fight with the crowd. The beaches were just deserted.

 There are quite a lot of large rock formations around the island's beaches. So much so that the locals used it to their imagination to con tourists such as moi.

 I tried to climb some of the rocks but they were either too tall or hot and my sandals were not meant for heavy duty adventure.

 Also had to be careful climbing around while holding my bag and camera. It looks painful to slip down there.

 Another popular thing to be washed up ashore: not the crab but slippers.
Yup, one side of them. Highly likely to be the victim of owners who couldn't hold on to them tight enough. And boy, were there a lot of them.
Crabs, on the other hand, were few but not as much.

The sun starts to ease down at about 6pm though it really may have been the clouds that were threatening to rain.

 Thankfully, it didn't happen during our trip and we were blessed with this beautiful weather and scenery.
