8. Malaysia
Most beautiful beach: Kota Kinabalu
If you are backpacking around Asia, you must not miss Malaysia’s Kota Kinabalu for the best beach experience ever! Beaches in Malaysia have so much to offer for every type of traveller: scuba diving, snorkelling, music fests, and, of course, dining for the freshest seafood! Malaysia’s KK (Kota Kinabalu) is surrounded by rainforests that separate you from the bustling crowd in the city proper.
