TELUK CHEMPEDAK
Just next to our place in Kuantan the next little jewel is hidden: Teluk Chempedak beach. This spot is well known for the five star Hyatt Regency Kuantan Resort, the huge trees, hundreds of monkeys, fast food restaurants, an attractive beach, huge granite boulders and good surf. The north eastern monsoon blows around the headland and allowed me to cruise through the bay, just in front of a green forest, a typical Malaysian scene. A few Malaysian Islamic women and their children spent the day at the beach, let local kites fly, bathed in the water with all their clothes on and watched me windsurfing in the bay, where little waves were breaking. Teluk Chempedak beach definitely has potential and can work well for surfing too as it’s a natural point, which brings the waves into order. Several surfing contests were held at that beach. Windsurfing at this spot, in front of the huge green trees was awesome.
Nearly two-thirds of the state is enveloped in verdant rainforest, which are up to 130 million years old. But now we planned to search for further jewels along the coast where we heard the water should be less murky!
