Kuantan, Malaysia - Beach at Teluk Tongkang

Teluk Tongkang is beach cove located about 1 km (half a mile) from Teluk Cempedak. The cove is accessible from Teluk Cempedak by a narrow wooden platform or walkway. The walk is interesting and pleasant, passing along the fringes of a tropical rainforest. Be prepared to meet a few macaque monkeys at the entrance of the walkway on the Teluk Cempedak side. 

Like Teluk Cempedak, the beach at Teluk Tongkang is sandy white and slopes gently into the sea. Teluk Tongkang is practically deserted on weekdays, making it a great place for a quiet and secluded beach but near enough to civilisation i.e. Teluk Cempedak. However, forget the idea of a quiet beach at Teluk Tongkang during the weekends and public holidays.
