This is one of the main beach that locals go to during the weekends and after office hours to unwind and for a time of leisure with family members. This beach is an enclosed bay and is a good place for water sports activities such as swimming, jet-skiing, surfing or sun-bathe.

Kite flying during the windy days is a definite thing to do for children of all ages. During the monsoon season from November to March, do be careful with the sea as the waves can be quite rough. Hence, it is not recommended for you to swim here during this time.

Platform

Walk along the raised platform to enjoy the view of the beach.

A platform was recently constructed from Cempedak Beach to another beach. You will discover many huge stones as you walk towards this beach. 

The sand here is darker in colour compared to the sand at Cempedak Beach. Notice the wild life such as monitor lizards and the macaques monkeys as you stroll along the forest. Enjoy the scenic view of the beaches from the platform. You will see more monkeys here as you walk towards the end of the platform.

The monkeys are a common sight here
