The Beach

Kuantan has got one of the nicest sandy beach in Malaysia (probably that is just my personal opinion, others may disagree). The above photo shows what Teluk Cempedak Beach is like looking North.

And looking South. Hyatt Hotel is the building you see on the land side right, behind the trees.


But Hyatt is imposing in this photo.


The walking path on the beach is beautifully constructed and maintained.


And if you need some (western type) snacks, you can always go into the nearest KFC or the Big Mac across the road.


Along the coast north and south of Kuantan, you will meet similar sandy (and lonely) beaches.

Kuantan is a beautiful place where beach is concerned. The downside is that some of these beaches are dangerous as they have got very strong sub-surface current. Many have drowned, especially if you enter the water during monsoon seasons. The other not so obvious downside is that security from petty thefts are not guaranteed while you are frolicking in the waters with your belongings left on the beach. If you observe, there is no ‘clothings and personal safe deposit kiosks’ on the beach, not only near Kuantan Town beach but also in neighbouring and further away beaches.
