Yea but less human also means something else is living there. Heard many sighthinh of salt water croc lately at certain beach of bagan lalang and pd

Lexis je

KLCC got beach & bitches

TRX also got beach & bitches

Lexis got a few and some are really old and rundown

those island lumut ( pangkor), lang tengah, tioman ., desaru.. the water is very inviting! but under current, sharks are very real! so with young family members, take great attention

You go for the atmosphere or for the swmming ?
PD i recommend blue lagoon. Go during weekday, take leave. It will be peaceful and quiet

melacca, entire beach filled with jellyfish.. be very careful... been to pulau kecil n besar.. in between the jellyfish is basically everywhere... near portuguese settlement, you'll see the mud accumulation!..
near the city centre, the hotel/ condo.. you can see jellyfish!!..
been to lumut navy base, also same issue... jellyfish

atmosphere. I don't want to see people.

B40 cannot afford

Yes then go Blue Lagoon on weekdays. That area and its surrounding less people compared to places like teluk kemang.
Near by blue lagoon there is a hiking trail to secluded beach if you are adventurous.

If not for swimming, for atmosphere and being close to nature come here can consider this short hike to secluded beach.

Pantai Floria, best pantai

want quiet, go resort with private beach.

FYI, lexis tak rak private beach. private pool ada la xD

any proper parking if I drive to Cape Rachado?
which is the better part of PD. upper or lower? based on GMaps, upper region is downtown. I guess easier to find food there? upper to lower region is 40 minutes drive.
I just want a calm beach. no need banana boat or whatever activities.

Red circle no beach. The only beach in red circle is near Avillion. Further up is the Beachfront. There is where all the business center, you will find McD, starbucks and departmental store.

Blue circle is less crowded but nice beach with nature park reserve. There is a light house there. Go to the blue circle for less crowd. I say less because if you truly want peace, go on a work day.

pangkor way better
pd sand flies banyak bite
bagan lalang not sure long time didn't go but got people mandi there ?

can anti-mosquito spray (on skin) deter sand fly?
what time has sand fly? afternoon? evening?

nothing weird kot considering almost all of the swimming pool near a beach will always have this problem.

Not sure, I didn’t bring any repellent. long sleeves and pants maybe helps
We were out in te afternoon — only me and the kids got bitten though, not my wife.
Maybe it’s something to do with blood types attracting them? 😅

yeah, last time teenage i go batu fringgi with friends we also jump into pool to wash our sand away.
