Covering the coastline from Kuala Pak Amat to Pantai Dasar Sabak, Sabak Beach has its own historical significance. It was here that the Japanese soldiers first landed on Malaya soil during World War II. It happened on the historic night of December 8, 1941, at 12.25 a.m. when the Japanese landed on an islet at the mouth of the Sungai Pangkalan Chepa (Kuala Pak Amat).
A pillbox made of concrete cement, which once accommodated nine to twelve Punjabi soldiers from India, and acted as a barricade during the WW II, once stood near the coast. But this witness of the events that took place in history have been destroyed by the erosion of the sea in recent years.
