chait. don't waste time.

start your car and drive to dungun / kuantan instead.

PD water still salty?

Both also bad. The water is polluted

if I fly to Kuantan, beach is just next to city?

from kl should be 3 hours plus one way.
unless u 200km/h all the way

Pantai Dickson.

Pantai Pasir Panjang.

Or further down just after N9/Melaka border, Kuala Sungai Baru.

I drive 70kmj only

that is further down south.

is the PD beach near at McD/Zus area ok? I actually expect to go to this northern part only.

Thistle still well maintained?

Can make as food trip also.

PD, BL got nothing much
Pangkor only seafood?

Personally I prefer Bagan Lalang. Can sit and dine at the various seafood restaurants and watch the sunset, or look ant the cranes opposite the port. And when high tide, strong winds blowing at your face.

Bagan lalang is less crowded and commercialised as well.

The eaters are not really clear.

I think they renovated during the MCO period

I remember going before MCO and some of their rooms are clearly run down

Now, it's a lot better and I like their beach in PD because it is on another side which is not near the usual public beaches

Orang Asli beach near Tanjung Sepat, been there twice few yrs ago, no ppl
Rebak Island near langkawi, semi-private island

Sungai besar got nice spot with tombolo. But only accessible by bike.

thank you legend

near the tanjung biru or the pantai cermin. you know the one side is white sand then opposite side is red sand. that one quite ok, meaning boleh tahan la. not so clean but better than nothing.

PD used to have the best beach for families because easy access, public facilities, no strong undercurrents, a few places with rocks under the water... very safe...
then for some reason, authorities approved buildings by the beach, this suddenly became private beach and outsiders cannot use..
over the years, more and more private projects blocked the good beaches, leaving on a few open to public..
oldies will remember 11th, 13th, blue lagoon, shah motel etc

blue lagoon was nice and full of deadcoral on the seabed (at least in the 90s still yea)
damn in the 70's still haev mat sallehreside these places, can even snorkeling and swim freely jer.

just dont know why the place is not really prosperous even after the completion of highway in the late 90s
manyak abandoned project

like TS said overcrowding... now most go to lido beach... many others ( even opposite the army camp) all fenced up.. those available (like you mentioned) full of rocks and razor sharp stones...
previously near the convent, the beach was ok ok because can cross over to the small island in low tide, now all fenced up..
sunshine camp!.. but going to the beach! helluva steep climb

great, i'll may give it a try one day

good info !

for me, as long as the beach is clear from rubbish, it's considered a decent beach already, unfortunately...

rather drive further up to lumut and get quieter / cleaner beach or just cherating (if not during peak traffic toward east coast, monsoon can do surfing somemore)
