Kuantan, Malaysia - Beach at Teluk Cempedak

Being situated within a bay, the waves and undercurrent at Teluk Chempedak are not as strong compared to other beaches directly facing the South China Sea. This makes the beach popular, especially with children. But don't take it for granted during the Northeast Monsoon (November to March), when the waves and undercurrent can be rough and therefore unsafe for swimming.

The beach does not plunge but slopes gently into the sea, and therefore safe for children and non-swimmers. During the day you can see fishing boats passing through the bay, and at night lights shining from the boats. During windy days, kite flying is a popular activity. There is a wooden platform that you can walk from Teluk Cempedak to another beach at Teluk Tongkang.
