"Teluk Cempedak, literally translated as ‘Jackfruit Bay’, is like Pahang’s very own Californian boardwalk, which is a favourite to the locals. Located just 5km from Kuantan, it is an enclosed bay, suitable for water sports like swimming, surfing, sun-bathing, sailing, and jet skiing."
Located just 5km from Kuantan town, Teluk Cempedak beach is a favourite among local folks. Its enclosed bay is suitable for water sport activities like swimming, surfing and jet-skiing. Its casuarina-lined beach is, however, quite rocky at certain places and the waves are often rough.
On the sea front, numerous restaurants and food stalls serving a wide variety of food and beverages attract throngs of locals and tourists alike. They do a brisk trade and open right till after midnight.
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.
Just around the corner overlooking the beach is an international-class hotel. With the sounds of big waves splashing against the gigantic rocks in the background, this is a place to be at any time of the day.
