- Eliza GongShah Alam, Malaysia52 contributionsBeach by Kuantan town ⛱️It was good to be back at this place. Seems to have about the same type of shops and eateries since maybe 15 years ago. Love sitting at this beach as it faces the South China Sea. Strong wind, perfect for flying kites 😂. Children friendly as well. Fast food joints such as McDonalds and KFC available to eat, chill and rest. Plenty of parking spaces for vehicles. This is a nice spot to visit when in Kuantan. Just a few minutes to town, I recommend to make a stop here. There is a golf course here as well for those who golfs. Plenty of hotel choices too. Plan your trip here soon 🤗Visited December 2023Traveled with familyWritten December 22, 2023
- Muhammad AkmalKuala Lumpur, Malaysia12 contributionsSerene Nighttime Escape with Varied Dining ChoicesA nighttime visit to Teluk Chempedak after dining at Restoran Ana Ikan Bakar Petai offered an enchanting escape. The beach's tranquil beauty, with its gentle breeze and serene ambiance, provided a refreshing stroll post-dinner, perfect for relaxation. However, limited streetlights affected visibility, suggesting a daytime visit to fully appreciate the picturesque scenery and breathtaking views under the sun. What stood out were the numerous nearby coffee shops, ideal for gatherings, along with popular eateries like McDonald’s, Starbucks, KFC, Subway, and others, offering convenience and diverse dining options catering to various preferences. Teluk Chempedak is a charming destination, providing a serene respite and a range of dining choices. For the complete experience and to capture the stunning views, a daytime visit is recommended, ensuring a delightful outing for both relaxation and culinary adventures.Visited January 2024Traveled with friendsWritten January 6, 2024

- ShahnazTSingapore, Singapore62 contributionsLaze Away the DayBeautiful! This beach literally took my breath away because when I first laid eyes on it, I legit gasped! Granted, I accessed it from the Hyatt property, but the beach and the scenery were all amazing! I spent a whole afternoon just lying on the beach, swimming, and taking in the blue skies and horizon views... The boardwalk for Teluk Cempedak has MANY shops for food and light shopping, and the locals were all very friendly (albeit loud), but if you're in Kuantan, Teluk Cempedak is NOT to be missed!Visited August 2024Traveled with familyWritten September 16, 2024

Visited on a Saturday at 1.30pm(was cloudy)
Lots of people at the beachfront area, felt suffocating but at the beach per se, there were less people and lots of small rocks to relax on under the shade.
There is a Mcdonalds, Starbucks and also a KFC here.
Beautiful manmade elevated walkway to Teluk Tongkang(neighbouring beach) but lots of aggressive monkeys along the way(due to people giving it food) made us turn back halfway through the walk.
Beach is clean but didnt see anyone swimming in the sea.

Clean beach to play in the sand and rocks. Surfing is good too! The beach is dangerous for swimming and there are rip tides especially when we visited in January. The sand isnt as fine which means it doesn't stick to you too much. Lots of restaurants on the area to cater to different tastes. Great for an evening walk and cool off with the ocean breeze. The beach appears to be cleaned every morning and we didn't find much litter about. Though cats tend to treat it like their sandbox. Footwear is advisable closer to the shore front area near the lifeguard tower.

Great beach next to the Hyatt hotel. It’s clean, there is a promenade bridge between the sea and the forest, there are many local food outlets and chain ones - McDonald's, Starbucks, KFC. The sand is white and soft, street musicians play.

It's a beautiful beach, but spoilt by the irresponsible visitors. Rubbish was everywhere. The buskers were noisy. Should leave the place because we are there to enjoy the sound of the waves, not the drums on one side, and lousy singing on the other side

With covid 19, so many people at the beach with no social distancing and some with no mask on. I drove by and there was so much traffic no space to even park. We did not stop as too many people and also lots of monkey which people keep on feeding and food everywhere and it smells.

A good spot to take the family for a time away from the busy and hectic hustle and bustles of city life. Enjoying nature as well as seaside with clean beaches and lovely waters for children to enjoy the waves. However, it is important to take heed of the hotel's warning signals for safety purpose.

This place gets very very busy and can become positively crowded. The monkeys have got used to having people feed them and can be rather agressive. There is a lot of litter as you'd expect from such a busy beach. There are nicer beaches in the area with much smaller crowds.
Lots of little stands selling assorted tourist tat and a very underwhelming night market at the weekend.
Not worth making a special trip to visit.

Nice beach for couples and families. Very lively with live music, beach facing fast food chains, local eateries and cafes, and has nice walkway overlooking the beach leading to trekking paths into the mini jungle where you'll be greeted with not overly friendly monkeys. Relatively the cleanest beach in the east coast. It's ironic that you can't find a single cempedak goreng at Teluk Cempedak though, which remains the only disappointment about the place for me. 4 out 5 recommended. Unless if you want to find cempedak goreng.

Very Nice clean beach. Popular with locals so parking is limited at weekends. Normal US chains sadly like McD and Starbucks and less local food than when we visited years ago.

We will visit KL soon and would like to plan a day trip to TC. We are a family of 5 (2 adults, 3 kids. What is the best way to get from KL to KC? Is there a regular bus service? How much would the trip cost? Thanks in advance.
Written March 28, 2015
Hai Sal M...If your family like backpacking travel, taking the bus to Kuantan would be fun as the journey will take around 3-4 hrs depending on traffic but on weekdays and non-peak season, traffic on the highway is ok. As you reached Kuantan, depending on where you are staying, the hotel can arrange for transportation to Teluk Cempedak. I was told that TC is more lively after the sun sets...There will be more peddlers selling souvenirs and food carts. My suggestion - go there around 5 - 6 pm (the sun will be kinder to the skin) where your kids can spend time at the beach and later have dinner along the sidewalks. Have a great trip ya
