Free parking and little commercialization makes this beach perfect for a private getaway. The sun rises from the water horizon, perfect for the mood and pictures.

Very nice beach, empty during the day with some nice local food outlets - well worth walking along the bridge to the second, smaller bay for a swim...

Sungai Pandan Waterfall

Reviewed By alongsj

The place opens at 9am so go early to avoid the crowd and the heat. The water is clear and cool and the waterfall beating on your body provides a great massage. Be careful with small children as the water does suddenly get deep at various places. The new SOP is observed quite strictly here with good reason. Everyone has to register and have their temperature taken at the guard house before entering. Parking space is ample. There are also stalls selling finger food in case you get hungry after your swim. My family and I went on a weekday so we were lucky not to be bombarded with a huge crowd. Easily spent an hour here, just enjoying the cool water and then soaking up the sun on the many rocks nearby. Cleanliness is maintained too, hopefully all visitors will continue to keep this lovely spot clean.

Taman Esplanade

Reviewed By geng59 - Kuantan, Malaysia

Bring your family, young and old, for family bonding whilst taking a stroll along the Kuantan River waterfront. Do your exercises here too if you like. For the fisherman in you, dawn and dusk is the place to be to enjoy your passion.For the young and young at heart, the McD outlet along this stretch might be your hangout after a refreshing walk. Otherwise, there are numerous food outlets at the far end to whet your appetites, mostly Malay cuisine and Pahang food specialties. Parking spots may be limited during peak hours in the evening but worth the effort if you do not mind to walk a bit. Otherwise, enjoy the Kuantan River waterfront. Pretty soon, Kuantan Tower will be ready for more exciting adventures when you are in Kuantan. Awesome!

Mini Zoo Taman Teruntum

Reviewed By Iemus

This is a small place - took an hour including plenty of time for the children (ages 2 & 4) to stop and stare. An adult could probably do a walkabout in 20 minutes. But admission is very cheap and the place is extraordinarily well-maintained : large enclosures for the animals to wander in, and they look much healthier and happier than the animals I’ve seen in the many zoos around Klang Valley. Also a small playground for the children to romp about in.
