Teluk Bidara



Teluk Bidara Beach is about 2 hours, passing through the oil town of Kerteh, Paka and Dungun. This is probably the best beach in the East Coast's mainland. You would greet with a turquoise-blue ocean. The water at this beach is crystal-clear. There is a lanai-style gazebo where one could climb up for better view of the lovely ocean.

Far ahead you could see the islands of Tenggol and Nyireh, famous for prolific diving sites. The water is so clean and calms enough for a swimming. However, the beaches are beautiful, a dream really and extremely quiet, very peaceful.

There is a cave below the end of the hill near the shore where visitors can go in and get to the other side. You can climb the rocks and get a better view of the coast line.


By car:
Drive along Highway 3 towards Kuala Terengganu. After you passed Dungun and the bridge over Sungai Dungun a sign will point for you to turn right. Go right in and you will be greeted by a series of signs. Follow them and you will be reached the beach.

By Bus:
Buy a bus ticket at Hentian Putra Bus Station, Kuala Lumpur to Dungun, Terengganu.

Tanjung Jara



Tanjung Jara embraced by the blue-green waters of the South China Sea, this is one of the more striking beaches. Long, wide stretches of golden sands sloping gently into the greenish blue waters are prominent.

Apart from its breathtaking sunsets, its openness to the powerful waves from the South China Sea creates fascinating sand dunes. Steady winds and reasonably dramatic surf provide an exciting and diverse array of water activities, such as wind surfing, boating and sailing, while the wide, open waters permit kayaking, snorkeling, deep-sea fishing and diving.

Located here is the Tanjung Jara Beach Resort. Styled after a Malay palace, but with all the modern amenities one could wish for, the resort is the recipient of the prestigious Aga Khan award for the best hotel architecture. Seven-time Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher took a well-deserved break there after a disastrous season opener in Melbourne. Guests get a taste of the Malay way of life from the wooden chalets and herb garden to traditional spa treatments.

It even caters for "turtle watch" at night between May and September when the turtles visit the beach to lay eggs. The visitors can just tell the reception, that they want to be called, if they have spotted a turtle coming on the beach and they will phone them at night in their room. A little van will take them to the right place on the beach. From here one can even catch a boat to visit some of the fabulous islands off the coast, in particular Pulau Tenggol.


By Car:
If you are driving from Kuala Lumpur, head east towards Kuantan. Use the Karak Highway all the way to Kuantan. The journey should take about three to 3½ hours. Once you arrive in Kuantan, head north-east on highway 3 (coastal road) and you will get to Dungun.

Rantau Abang



At 22km north of Kuala Dungun and 80km south of Kuala Terengganu, it is probably the most talked about tourist spot in Terengganu. There was a time when a great number of giant leatherback turtles came to Rantau Abang to lay their eggs between May and August. (Peak egg laying months are June and July).

Rantau Abang beaches are well-known for its turtles. In fact, the state of Terengganu's penchant to associate itself with turtles started here in Rantau Abang. Nonetheless, this beautiful beach makes up for it. The water is crystal clear and enticing enough for a swim. You could also climb the giant boulder rock, admiring its geological formation of different sedimentary layers throughout millions of years. Also it provides an amazing bird's eye view of the beach.

For more information on the leatherbacks, there is a Turtle Information Centre managed by the Department of Fisheries at Rantau Abang. The rangers have been patrolling the beaches to ensure safety for the turtles when they come onto shore to lay their eggs. The centre is open every day except Friday and public holidays.



By Car:
From Kuantan, drive north for about 2 hours, passing through the oil town of Kerteh, Paka and Dungun. From Dungun town, head further north for another 5 minutes. You should be passing over the Dungun river bridge. After the bridge, passing by the exit to Teluk Bidara recreational beach, you will see a curve on the road and giant rock boulders which marks the beginning of Rantau Abang beaches on your right.

Paka




Paka Beach which is about 16km north of Kertih is a secluded wide stretch of golden sands sloping gently into the sea, with small clusters of tall-swaying palms.

The glorious and awe-inspiring daily sunrise can be observed from here or, better still, from the Sungai Paka Bridge near the river mouth. The unfolding of nature's grandeur over fishing villages and coconut groves is best captured as dawn begins to break, with the sky emblazoned in a multitude of fiery red, orange and yellow, lasting no more than ten minutes.

If without the beach, Paka is a typical quite and dead fishing village with wooden kampong houses, jetty and fishing boats. Passing by the petroleum processing plants in the night time is a amazing experience. The huge refinery plant brightly lighted appears in a suddenly in a bare land, like a star city appear in the middle of the sky.


By Car:
To reach Paka from Kuala Lumpur, take the New East Coast Highway heading towards Kuantan, Pahang. Then head north towards Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu.

As you drive along the road, you will see a large gateway portal that says you've entered the state of Terengganu. Drive until you reach Kemaman town.

In Kemaman, the highway will suddenly turn to the right. Follow the sign heading towards Kuala Terengganu. Around 15km or so north of Kerteh, you'll reach Paka.

By Bus:
Go to the Hentian Putra Bus Station in Kuala Lumpur. Buy a bus ticket to Paka, Terengganu. We recommend that you buy tickets from the bigger and well-known bus companies such as Transnasional, Mara-Liner or Mutiara Express. The bus ride will be between 4 1/2 hours to 6 hours, depending on weather and traffic conditions.

Refrain from taking cheaper bus tickets from bus companies that I did not recommend or you'll end up with an 8-hour trip on a not-so-comfortable bus that breaks down half-way across Pahang.

Please remind the bus driver that you're getting off at Paka.

If you are still confused, just ask the local when you reach Paka as it's the only seaside resort there.
Take the small road that leads to Paka Residence Resort. Behind the Resort is Paka Beach.

Try not to sleep on the bus, after you've reached the Terengganu borders, or you'll drive pass by Paka and end up in Dungun. If you do miss Paka, take the bus all the way to Dungun. Then you can rent a taxi or another bus back to Paka.
Do not forget to get your bags or luggage from the bus luggage compartment when you get off.

Penarik



Pantai Penarik is located within a recreational area frequently attended by the locals. There seemed to be a camping ground and probably some motel rooms here too. The water is fantastic and the view of traditional fishing boats docked at the beach by the local villagers is something you could treasure.

The beach tends to get very breezy because of the open sea. From here, the visitors can catch a glimpse of the famous islands off the coast of Terengganu - on the far left are the Perhentians, sitting in the middle is the small island of Pulau Lang Tengah, and far right is the world-famous Pulau Redang. There are a few food stalls here, plenty of picnic benches and ample parking spots.

Driving along Penarik is a pleasant experience. Along the way, there are coconut trees shading the road and Malay village houses spotted here and there between the trees. The beach, Pantai Penarik is somewhere behind the coconut trees, 90km to the north of Kuala Terengganu. Straight and sandy coast line is the major attraction for holiday seekers who intend to tan their skin and have a couple hours of quite and relaxing time.

Kelulut Beach lies between Marang and Rantau Abang. A sandy beach ideal for swimming and sunbathing, visitors to this beach will be captivated by its natural beauty and serenity. The pine trees that stretch along the beach provide a good hideaway for nature lovers.

Kelulut Beach is unique in that its broad golden sands form a remarkable stretch of sand dunes like a wall that slopes dramatically into the sea, creating an unusual two-tier beach, famous for its sweeping scenery. Beauty and function converge in the rows of colorful, elegantly carved fishing boats moored on the sparkling waters.

Merang



Merang is the gateway to the world famous archipelago of Redang islands. The beach, although not the most famous in the east coast, its long sandy beach and stretches of tall coconut trees and sparkling crystal clear sea water is somehow making Pantai Merang a good stop to enjoy the sea breeze before proceeding to next destination. There are some cheap chalets run by the local offering basic accommodation if you later decided to spend a night or so in this tranquil beach.

In general, the long coastline of Pantai Merang is located about 30 kilometres to the north of Kuala Terengganu.

The name of "Merang" is rather unfortunate as it is often mistaken for another popular beach area that goes by the name of "Marang" to the south of Kuala Terengganu. In recent days, the many beaches along the stretch of coastal Setiu district have gained better visibility to the public with the ever-growing flock of tourists to the idyllic islands off the coast of Pantai Merang, namely Pulau Redang and Pulau Lang Tengah. In fact, regular island goers have to make the compulsory stop at Pantai Merang where the main passenger boat jetty is located.

As Pantai Merang gets out of the ghastly shadow of Pantai Marang, the proliferation of medium- and high-class resorts start to stamp its mark on this long stretch of beautiful beach. Hospitality establishments such as The Aryani and Sutra Beach Resort have been adorning its white sandy beaches for many years, and as of recently, Merang Suria Resort had joined the fray to capture a slice of stopover tourists heading to the popular islands off the coast of Terengganu. It is not uncommon for island-bound visitors originating from different parts of Malaysia and Singapore to stay overnight at the many beach resorts of Pantai Merang before appropriately heading to the islands from Merang Jetty.

Near to the confluence of Sungai Merang and the South China Sea, a massive breakwater has been erected to regulate the depth of the river estuary. The construction has resulted in a man-made lagoon fronting the camping ground on the beach. In the so-called public park area, the beach is decidedly beautiful with swaying coconut trees and shady casuarina trees that produce whistling sounds when the wind is blowing strongly.

A good spot for a visit is the Merang Observatory Station (or Balai Cerap for Universiti Darul Iman). The place looks like a planetarium and is actually used for sky-gazing to determine the beginning of the many special months of Islamic calendar. As the observatory is perched on top of a hill overlooking the vast expanse of Pantai Merang, the view can be considered spectacular.

By Car
Either park your car at a designated safe park (a daily parking rate of RM4 - RM7 fee will be levied) and then hitch a ride on the connecting shuttle to Merang village.

By Bus/taxi
From town, grab a local bus to Merang from the bus terminal although it may be infrequent and often waits till there are enough passengers before leaving.
