Beautiful beaches and vast countryside set against the backdrop of the picturesque Mt. Pueh is perhaps one of the best of this small town.. The scenic view and relaxing laid-back style are the main reasons i make a return often. I can just sit at the coffee shop enjoying the sea breeze or just somewhere at the beaches under the pine tree or even fishing at the jetty.
Sabath Waterfall, located about 3km into Kpg Pueh is one of the attraction not many people know of... the waterfall is not big compare to Jangkar Waterfall but its still a great picnic place and clear and cold water for a swim.
Not far from Sabath waterfall, the only silk farm in Malaysia, managed by Zuhrah Pelangi S/B is a place must go place. Its closed on Sunday though. Scenic view from the main building (look like the head of dark vader) is just breath taking.
To better enjoy the nature around Sematan area, its best to do bit of exploring. Below are few pictures I took from my visits.
