Sabak Beach
" Covering the coastline from Kuala Pak Amat to Pantai Dasar Sabak, Sabak Beach has its own historical significance due to the landing of Japanese soldiers during World War II."

Experience the calm and serene surroundings, with soothing ocean breeze and a lovely stretch of golden sandy beach. Its astounding scenery and a magnificent landscape form a picturesque backdrop, making it a suitable place to seek a little piece of mind.

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.

"Although the Sabak beach is nice and clean, it lacks the amenities for tourists to use eg clean toilets to bathe and change and a place to rest and sit if not on the fine sand. It needs more structure for food and drinks and not allow the littering to get to the beach. "  
by Dominic Chia
