The beach offers of pristine sand and crystal-clear waters, making it a great spot for swimming. However, it falls short in terms of public amenities, so you better pack your own fresh water for cleaning up. And here's a heads up, you need to bring your own garbage bags too, as leaving trash behind is a big no-no. While the scenery is breathtaking, it's disheartening to see how some visitors act like uncivilized primates, so please, let's all show some respect to this beautiful place.

This tranquil beach is a true hidden treasure, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding scenery and refreshing waters that are relatively free of debris. However, it's important to note that there are no restroom facilities on site, and visitors will need to venture down a slightly bumpy path to reach the beach. Sadly, it's disheartening to see litter left behind by previous beachgoers, so let's all do our part to keep this natural wonder pristine and beautiful for generations to come.

This serene and picturesque beach is a hidden gem, but it seems to be gaining popularity and can get quite busy at times. It's disheartening to see piles of litter left behind by inconsiderate visitors. It's important to note that the final stretch of the road leading to the beach is bumpy and narrow, but it's still possible to navigate with a regular car.

Discover a hidden gem of a beach that only the locals know about, thanks to GPS technology. After a short off-road journey of 50 to 100 meters, easily accessible by sedan cars and street bikes, you'll arrive at this secluded paradise. Bring your own refreshments and food to enjoy a peaceful and relaxing day, or take advantage of the two little tentages where you can purchase snacks and drinks. This is the perfect spot to escape the crowds and soak up the natural beauty of the beach.

The beach is truly a sight to behold. The crystal-clear blue water is a result of the rough sandy subsoil, which gives it a unique island-like feel. To get there, we parked inside the palm oil plantation as directed by Google Maps and took a leisurely stroll through it. Although some opted to drive their cars down, the beach's remote location ensured that it wasn't crowded even during public and school holidays. Undoubtedly, the main draw of this beach is the rare clear waters, which are a rarity on the Malaysian peninsula.
