Teluk Cempedak Beach
"
What to do in Teluk Cempedak, said to be Pahang’s very own Californian boardwalk? What else is there at the 'Jackfruit Bay', as literally translated from Bahasa Malaysia? Fancy some sun-bathing, sailing, and jet skiing?"
Background:
Translated literally as ‘Jackfruit Bay’, Teluk Chempedak is like Pahang’s very own Californian boardwalk - a hit with both local and international visitors. The nearby jungle area provides a quick introduction to Malaysia's flora and fauna, with a few different species of plant life, insects and other small animals inhabiting the limited space. Beware of the macaques, as they can be quite a nuisance!
About 5km away on either side of Teluk Cempedak are the fishing villages of Tanjung Api and Beserah. On a good day, you can see fisherman out at sea on their tooting boats, waiting for the catch of the day.
Take a stroll on the wooden walkway that connects Teluk Cempedak to Teluk Pelindung nearby, where waves crash up on the rock promontories there. As the name suggested (pelindung means ‘protector’ in Malay), it is a private bay away from the more bustling Teluk Cempedak. Families and friends can have their own private picnics there, and going for dips in the waters.
Activities:
Perfect for sea and beach lovers, it is an enclosed bay, suitable for water sports like swimming, surfing, sun-bathing, sailing, and jet skiing.
Along the beach lines pine trees and provide great spots for picnics or merely just sitting around enjoying the view. There are even rocky capes with the South China Sea waves lapping against it; private corners for friends and couples who would like a little more space to themselves.
Facilities:
Toilets
Food court
Stalls selling trinkets
A McDonald’s drive-thru – perfect for supper in the middle of the night!
