This is THE beach when I was a child. We (and everybody else) would bring our own home cooked food in metal tiffin and tupperware, a mat, umbrellas and what have you, spread it out, and forked a couple of ringgits to rent the huge tyre tube as pelampung... Then we'll play and bath at the beach until out digits are wrinkly and our skin burned like a roasted peanut (or lobster).
Good, old times...
It is sad that nowadays everything costs money,.. The beach is undeniably cleaner now, with better facilities, and lots of food and games being offered, but everything comes at a cost, and well, ok, that's fair
The bane of it though, is that you have to fork out substantial amount of money just to have a good spot on the beach!

Shower and toilet are also near, however these needs improvement. Otherwise a decent...
Read moreThere is a line of dirt on the front line of the sea water and there is some plastic in the water and sand. A lot of small grocer and food store here, so food is not a concern and if you want to buy kite or floater. You got to rent those tents by the shore, not free. I think these renters should take care of this wonderful beach if they are here to make business. A lot of facilities by the government including good parking and walk way all the way to the beach.. the sea water cleanliness might also be affected by the pass amount of boat for this small area of beach which I think is overloaded even for swimming purposes you will find boat blocking your way and it...
