Teluk Cempedak Beach

Teluk Cempedak or Teluk Chempedak (literally: Cempedak Bay) is a beach in Kuantan. It is located 5 kilometres east from the town centre in Kuantan and is situated in close proximity to the Royal Pahang Golf Club.

The white sandy beach and the beautiful casuarinas and pine trees line the coast, with some rocky promontories facing the incessant waves of the South China Sea. All these combined to make the beach serene and at the same time delightful.

The boats of the fishermen at sea can be seen during the day and at night. The fishing village of Tanjung Api and Beserah is only about 5 kilometres (3.1 miles) away on either side of Teluk Chempedak.

On the left side of Teluk Cempedak beach, there is a long metal boardwalk (built over rocks and boulders) that connects to Missionary Bay, a second beach. Small monkeys can often be seen around the beach area, although it is recommended that you not get too close to them. They can be aggressive, especially if you are carrying food!

Teluk Chempedak is a complete beach getaway that can get rather busy on weekends as it is the most popular amongst local. If you like company, then this place is for you.
