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

QUOTE(AyamBlend @ Jun 9 2025, 02:30 PM) 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

QUOTE(AyamBlend @ Jun 9 2025, 02:41 PM) 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) 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

Better go east coast at least kuantan pantai chempedak 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
