Beaches in Kelantan

Pantai Cahaya Bulan (Beach of Moonlight)

Formerly known as the beach of passionate love, Pantai Cahaya is a picture-postcard beach. Tall casuarinas trees fringe the beach providing shade and a grassy verge gives way to tall swaying coconut palms. Comfortable chalets are available at the beach.

Pantai Bisikan Bayu (Beach of the Whispering Breeze)

Pantai Bisikan is about 50 km south of Kota Bharu in the Pasir Puteh District. Around the village of Semerak, gentle breezes rustle the casuarina needles producing a hushed sound. Surfing is good at certain times of the year, and wind surfers will find excellent spots here.

Pantai Seri Tujuh (Beach of Seven Lagoons)

Located in the Tumpat district close to the Thai border, this pristine beach is sheltered by the longest lagoon in Malaysia. Home to the annual International Kite Festival, the beach has a variety of food and drink stalls as well as public amenities.

Pantai Irama (Beach of Melody)

About 30 km south of the capital, Pantai Irama offers choice picnic spots and eating stalls. It is reputed to be one of the most beautiful beaches along the East Coast.

Pantai Sabak

As well as being a small picturesque harbour for fishing boats, Sabak Beach boasts fine golden sands fringed by coconut palms. It is a perfect spot to picnic and relax while observing the return of the fishing boats. Gentle waves lap the shore and the water is warm and clear.
