This serene beach is a perfect spot to take a brief and uncomplicated respite. However, the road leading to it is quite narrow and could become congested with vehicles on weekends. It's worth noting that there are no waste receptacles available. Nevertheless, the surrounding trees and the beach itself are truly magnificent.

The beach is pristine and stunning, with a plethora of options for entertainment and cuisine. However, it can become quite congested on weekends. There are numerous beachfront chalets and homestays that can be reserved. The beach is ideal for camping due to its gentle slope. Additionally, it is home to a seaturtle hatching and preservation exhibit.

As someone who has explored many beaches along the West Coast, I must say that this particular one holds a special place in my heart. Despite being a couple of hours away from Kuala Lumpur, it is definitely worth the journey. Although it may not boast a secluded, picturesque setting, there is something about this beach that makes me feel right at home. Perhaps it is the abundance of food stalls and seafood restaurants in the area, or the cheap and comfortable chalets that line the shore, perfect for an overnight stay. However, what truly sets this beach apart is the charming kampung atmosphere that permeates the entire area. It is this unique vibe that keeps me coming back time and time again.

A beautiful location to witness the breathtaking sunset, yet it is anticipated to be bustling with visitors over the weekend. The narrow road leading to the beach requires cautious parking. Fortunately, there is a delightful restaurant nearby that offers a stunning view of the sunset. It can be quite warm, so it is recommended to seek shelter under the shade of trees or bring an umbrella if the heat is unbearable.

Experience the breathtaking scenery of the beach while taking a refreshing dip in the sea. Feel the excitement of the waves as you glide through them on a banana boat. There are multiple chalets available for your stay at an affordable price, starting from as low as RM80 per night. The chalet area has ample parking space, and there are also public parking spots available. You can indulge in a variety of food and drinks from the numerous hawker stalls. Don't miss out on trying the delicious Gula Melaka Ice Cream.
