TEKEK
The main village of Tioman is the most developed area on the island, complete with an airport and a smattering of duty-free shops. The police station and clinic are also located here.
A curve of sand, lined with Causarina trees stretches from the jetty to the south. A handful of resorts, mostly frequented by divers, are clustered around this beach while a few restaurants and shops lie a bit further from the shore.
The dusty road that cuts through Tekek is mostly used by locals on motorcycles and visitors on rented bicycles. Renting a bicycle is a great way to explore the area, although you may need to carry it over the headland as you head towards Air Batang Village in the north.
Cars are a rare sight on Tioman, except in Tekek. Vans and cars ferry tourists from the airport to the massive Berjaya resort south of town and four-wheel drive vehicles stand ready to head through the jungle to Juara on the other side of the island. The adventurous ones head for Juara on foot – a challenging, two-hour trek through hilly rainforest.
