Tekek, located midway on the island's western coastline and considered the administrative heart of Tioman, has the longest stretch of beach on the island. In Tekek you can also swim during low tide in contrast to many other beaches in Tioman, or wade out to the reef, where you will be surrounded by colourful fish, coral and clams.

The main jetty, airport, police station, hospital, school, post office, local authorities and other government offices are also located at Tekek. Those who love adventure can try jungle trekking the 7km from Tekek to Juara village. Along the way is the spectacular cascading waterfall, ideal for a picnic spot.

This village is the gateway to Tioman by air and sea. It is also the closest village to the Berjaya Tioman Beach, Golf & Spa Resort, the island's only five-star accommodation.
