Top 50 things to do and attractions in Kuantan

Nestled in the heart of lush greenery, this stunning multi-tiered waterfall offers a refreshing escape into nature. The cascading streams over the large rock formation creates and soothing visual, and the natural pool below is perfect for a cool swim on the hot day. But on weekday, this waterfall still crowded with the people.

Great recreation spot for families and friends of all ages. Open from 9am, so be sure to come early to get the best picnic spots. Plenty of parking available and the facilities are well maintained. The changing rooms/shower area can be improved though. It would be nice if they can add the shower rooms bcs it can be a bit packed in there

What an amazing place. These are the best waterfalls that I have been to.in Malaysia. So clean, refreshing, deep and breathtakingly beautiful. This is a must visit place if you are in or near Kuantan. We drove from Cherating and it was so worth it. Malaysia 🇲🇾 Truely Asia 🌏 💖 We.will be back again soon insha'Allah

A refreshing gem en route to Kuantan! Sungai Pandan Waterfall is a perfect pit stop for nature lovers. The area was bustling with locals enjoying picnics, while only a few tourists had found this hidden treasure. The river is clear, with small fish darting between the rocks—dip your feet in for an instant cooling sensation. We even spotted mushrooms and Dipterocarp trees, adding to the richness of the forest vibe. A rejuvenating break that’s worth the short detour.

Its a wonderful waterfall to just sit under the cold falling water. Water was clean and freshly cool. Not many visitors during weekday and so we managed to sit around near the edge of the water. There are many small fishes in the water. Becareful of the slippery stone.The entire park was kept clean and there is only 1 drink stall opened. The toilet just built and it was clean. Big land area for parking. Will definitely visit again if we go to Kuantan.

Lovely waterfall, there’s an entrance and parking fee. A toilet is available to change your clothes and wash up. The waterfall’s rushing water was a therapeutic massage and soothing to the ears. A really scenic place to enjoy a day trip out from Kuantan.

One of the best experiences that you must have when in Kuantan. Refreshing when the waterfall splash onto your back and head. It is not deep. Slightly rocky, but when underneath the waterfall, it is sandy and walkable. Not deep at all. Quite well maintained with toilet changing and bathing facilities. One caution for tourists is that you can take Grab there. However, no grab driver will come to the waterfall and fetch you. Thus, you need to drive there or arrange your transport back. Otherwise, might be challenging when no grab drivers come. We are lucky to meet 3 kind Malay girls who fetch us to Lotus. Terima kasih to them! Kind souls!🙏

A majestic and magnificent mosque with a vivid history of its history and architecture. Decided to stop here for a quick prayer. Other than the luxury-like settings, the place serves as such a great place to host activities religious or otherwise.

It’s impressive how well-organized and thoughtfully designed everything is. There are clear signboards everywhere so it’s easy to find your way to the main prayer hall, toilets, and ablution areas without any confusion. The mosque itself is very clean, spacious, and well-maintained.

The biggest masjid in Kuantan. I attended Isya and terawikh prayers after my Iftar. Sadly, so many muslims did not joined the isya and terawikh prayers as they were still sitting at the field with their family for iftar. Not sure why though…..

Well designed, peaceful and provide convenient place for musafirs to stop by, shower, freshen up and perform prayers. Toilet is clean, shower is clean and plenty, provide place to change diapers for babies, have a designated place for nikah, theres signs everywhere to show the way around the mosque. Lets keep the mosque clean 🤍

The mosque is spacious and comfortable, the entrance when we went was a bit confusing. As The sultan also broke his fast together in the MBK field. *in ramadhan*

so many entry access. clean toilet. very comfortable to pray. old architecture yet, still going strong.

Came for a late Dhuha n the masjid was empty except for an ongoing Haj class. May we all be given rezq to go to Haj soon 🤲🏽. Surprisingly huge ruang solat, carpet itself a bit dated n needs more improvements on the maintenance aspects. Other than that, syukur diberikn peluang dan keizinanNYA utk berada di sini. Alhamdulillah.

The “sand loop” is around 1.5km. But you can can get more mileage if you run on the outer part of the track. Pretty cooling place to run because of the trees and the sea breeze. Morning run can be crowded but still can run. A lot of elderly folks doing their morning walk, run and exercise.

Taman Gelora and the nearby Tanjung Api are linked through pathed walkway. The locals come to Taman Gelora for breeze walks and group dancing/exercise. If you are into photography, Taman Gelora is the place for you. Here you can take wonderful shots during low tide or any time of the day. If you stroll pass the Methodist cemetry towards Tanjung Api, you will find yourself walking into the life of local fishermen busy preparing to set sail.

A beautiful seaside park. Pros: - clean, nicely maintained - such a scenic view; lake on one side, beach on the other side - equipped with playgrounds, toilets & outdoor exercise equipments - free and spacious parking Cons: - natural jogging tracks may cause inconvenience to those that not familiar with sandy tracks - crowded during the weekend & public holidays. - a little bit far from city centre

Nice place to Jog. Early morning lots of ppl dancing & jogging. Beautiful place besides beach. Tks to MPK

Peaceful vibe and has good exercising machines. A great place for jogging with spots to rest and really take in the view of the lake. Just watch out for those red ants. Overall, really chill place.

This is Kuantan city another places that similar to Taman Bandar and Explanade Kuantan 👍 They have playground structures and lake on here, their famous lake was Lotus Lake 😉 Not to mentioned, they have hanging bridge and places for Zumba activities 😌 There's even have elder person and young people jogging here too 😅 This places are nearby Pantai Gelora and UCYP or YP Advanced Skills Taman Gelora 😊 5/5 🌟 Mr Fish Approved 👍

This park is right beside the beach and equipped with proper jogging trail. Well maintained!

Really windy, setting up a tent is doable although with some difficulty. As the name suggests, its a beach with black rocks. The view is okay, the water is murky. You can swim but please do be careful. There are soke stalls nearby and a food court. Parking is plenty only if the stalls are not there. Public toilet is decent. Third time coming here.

Pantai Batu Hitam is unique with its black stones along the shore, making it a nice spot for photos and relaxing. The beach is clean, breezy, and peaceful, with some stalls nearby for snacks. A good place to stop by with family or friends.

Water is very clear. Lots of crabs and snails on the rocks and sand. Spotted some small fish too. Have to take note that coming here during low tide is better, because during high tide the water hides much of the rocks. We had a great time adventuring and connecting with nature. (no critters were harmed, we returned them all to nature after handling)

Went there on labour day. The beach isn't too crowded. Sand is unique as it's slightly black. Water was crystal clear. Saw that the beach cleaners were actively collecting trash on the beach. Overall, the beach is clearer than most beaches that I visited. 🏖️

Good spot for celup tepung in Kuantan, there are a lots of food option, the breeze was nice the view very stunning. Open parking available, quite huge area for parking. Will come again next time

Good place to bring ur kids, run around the black rockand maybe catch some small crabs and fishes. :) Alot of new development on going, i think in future there sure be more foods choices by the beach. Let's hope that they dont sell the same thing.

Great place to hang up with family and friends, there is also food vendors near by.

This was my childhood shopping mall on my city 🥹 It's brought me a lot of memories until now 😌 On present days a lot of new things on here but sadly some places moved to new shopping mall like arcade game corner 😔 Missed oldest days so much 🥺 Approved by MochiNeko 😺🍡

Maghreb prayer at level 2 male Surau, the space slightly smalll to cater jemaah especially during maghreb prayer jemaah rushing due to limited time for performing solat.

East Coast Mall is our favorite mall in Kuantan! It is absolutely the best—it has everything you could need, from a wide range of shopping options to great entertainment. Plus, the parking is easy and convenient.

The biggest mall in Kuantan, Pahang. Have a cinema, f&b, Electronics & gadgets, fashion & Parkson. Not too bad. Parking is cashless too. But there is no supermarket after AEON Big left as main tenant. So difficult to buy fresh fruits or produce. Even Pharmacy is hardly available. The exterior of the mall is outdated with old school printed poster while other malls has been using LED signage & 3D Display. High time to refurbish to make the mall more appear up to date.

Second mall I go when I was kid 🥹 I have a lot of memories there, including arcade game now it's stop operated and changed to Toys R Us 😔 Present day, will goes to Parkson, GSC and Black Canyon for dinner or something so far 😅 Also they're near Kuantan City Mall, for those want to Kuantan City Mall too, just go there by walking 😉 Here's some random photo from there 😌 5/5 🌟 Mr Fish Approved 👍

Not bad, every thing u need is available. Comfortable

We love coming to ECM as it is convenient and has good facilities. However, today (10/10/2025) at around 9:35 p.m. we were chased away from BR and were refused service when trying to buy ice cream. Other customers also experienced the same thing. This is the first time such an incident has happened in a mall like this. The reason given was, “Kami dah tutup, ada audit.” Is this allowed to happen in such a well-known mall in Kuantan? Are there any policies that apply to other shops as well? Because only this particular shop treated us in this manner. We hope the management can look into this matter. Thank you.

A clean and beautiful esplanade, perfect for a relaxing afternoon stroll. Shaded by plenty of trees, it offers a cool escape from the sun. Popular with locals, especially those who enjoy fishing at the designated spots along the way.

Esplanade Kuantan is a lovely spot for both locals and tourists, offering a peaceful riverside atmosphere that’s perfect for relaxation. The well-maintained walkway along the river allows you to take a leisurely stroll while enjoying the scenic views of the Kuantan River. It’s also a great place for families, with seating areas and nearby food stalls offering local delights. However, it can get a bit crowded during the evenings, especially on weekends. One of the most charming aspects of the area is the nearby street art. The vibrant murals and creative artwork scattered throughout the streets near the Esplanade add a touch of color and culture to the city. These pieces showcase local talent, often depicting traditional scenes, modern themes, or aspects of daily life in Kuantan. It’s an Instagram-worthy spot that offers visitors a unique glimpse into the local culture. While you’re in the area, I highly recommend dining at Udang Celup. Their seabass celup tepung Restaurant is incredibly fresh, perfectly cooked, and delicious, all at a very affordable price. The portion size is generous, and the seafood quality is top-notch. It’s one of the best dishes I’ve had in Kuantan, and the casual atmosphere and friendly service only add to the experience. If you're a seafood lover, this place is a must-visit! Whether you're strolling along the Esplanade, admiring the street art, or enjoying a great meal at Udang Celup, Kuantan offers a blend of natural beauty, culture, and fantastic food.

This was the place to enjoy moon scene and healing in Kuantan city, also picnic too 🥹 You can see the view for bridge that connected with Tanjung Lumpur and Kuantan river 😄 They have some Food and Drink Stall here (F&B Stall), also they have McDonald's on their nearby too 🥰 But their toilet still half satisfied for sure 😢 Here's the night view with Kuantan sign, enjoy 😉 Approved by MochiNeko 😺🍡

Suitable place for night relaxing walk, can see Menara 188 Kuantan view from outside, there is bicycle and scooter rental available, with few dessert & makan shops, can see ppl fishing along way too

Nice for a walking view .. feel so calm

Nice place for a evening walk

Many areas have been upgraded here and are excellent for tourists who come to rest and take pictures. There are several interesting spots for photography, but the river smell is somewhat unpleasant and parking can be challenging

A place where you get the ultimate kuantan city view from. Mind pleasing landscape and cool fresh breeze will make you feel out of this world. I choose to visit there on a weekend at an afternoon yet did not have to wait at all. Let me rate this place in the following categories: 1. Tidiness: People working there keep the place tidy and clean. It is 5/5. 2. Landscape: On one side you see a developing city and on the other side you find a view that is worth a thousand visits. 5/5. 3. Staff: Super friendly and helpful. 5/5. 4. Dining options: 2,one at the ground floor, another at the 2nd floor below the rooftop. It is not allowed to take food on the rooftop unless arranged beforehand. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience.

It's an interesting area, a lot of information about the royalty and history of Pahang were on display. Some binoculars are broken. I guess it's an okay place? I think if you have your own binocular or a love for Kuantan and Pahang in general, this is the place to be. Pictures taken from top of the tower

Menara 188 has a nice view even from the ground, just walking around it. However, it gets very hot in the morning, so remember to apply sunscreen or bring an umbrella. I highly suggest coming here in the evening instead and enjoy a walk along the Kuantan River. There are many food places right across the street, so you can easily grab something to eat after a walk.

I've only been to Menara 188 at night — 2X for Iftar (each year) and 1X for the Merdeka countdown celebration. The view from the top is absolutely breathtaking. You can really feel the calm and spiritual atmosphere, especially when the Quran is recited during solat. The city lights, the gentle night breeze and the overall ambiance make it a peaceful yet stunning experience. The staff were very polite and attentive, which made the visit even more pleasant. However, the price you pay feels more for the view than for the food. The meals during Iftar and the Merdeka countdown were just "biasa-biasa". The taste was okay, but the variety could definitely be improved.

Great value, we go on Friday evening between 6-7:30pm, we bought ticket by walk in, rm46 for indoor and outdoor deck, we took time to enjoy the sunset moment and take photos,souvenir is not Overpriced , weekdays seem like a great choice to visit if you can, coz we almost have the whole floor for our own.

Search "parking menara kuantan 188" please. Menara Kuantan 188 is a cool spot with a reasonable ticket price.You get a really nice view from the top, and you can even see the river. The staff are super friendly, and it's great that they have a surau and cafe on the ground floor.

1. The staff were really friendly and made the visit pleasant. 2. I found out you can actually get 15% off if you buy your ticket online through their official website — totally worth it. 3. I chose the Skydeck because the view is way better for photos. ✅ With MyKad on weekdays (Mon–Thurs), RM27 for an adult ticket. ✅ If you come on a weekend or public holiday, it’s RM36 for adults. 4. I checked out the Observation Deck too... it has binoculars, but honestly, there wasn’t much to see. I wouldn’t bother next time. 5. I took the Timur (east) lift going up — much better view from there. You get to see the Kuantan signboard, the mosque, and the bridge, which you won’t catch from the other side. 6. There’s no time limit once you’re up there, so you can enjoy at your own pace. 7. I’d suggest going around 6:30–7:30 pm — you get to see both the full daylight view and catch the beautiful Kuantan sunset. 8. For payment, they only accept QR, debit card, or Google/Apple Pay — no cash. 9. Shout-out to the slim male staff who was on duty as the chaperone at the lobby on 19 July, between 6–8 pm — he was super friendly and explained everything clearly. 10. Maybe the management could consider placing local staff at the Skydeck — currently, the guards stationed there are not locals.

Gua Charas is a cave temple near Panching village, hidden in a palm oil plantation about 25km west of Kuantan. A 400millions years limestone masiff that towers around 300 meters high, the hill has a large cave chamber accessible by steps from the foot below. Inside, a reclining Buddha statue is housed at the end of a large rib cage-like passageway, along with smaller altars placed at random recesses along the walls. Lit by lamps, interesting limestone formations can be viewed along the statues, the ground wet at some parts from dripping water, a natural feature of such landscapes. Open daily from 9am till 5pm, small ticket and parking fees are charged on visitors. It is recommended to visit during noon when sunlight enters the cave for nice photo effects. Some shirtless Hindu priests were washing an altar and a black pillar named Jala Lingam, representing the deity Lord Shiva. Nearby, statues of an elephant and a monkey were kneeling before a Buddha while towards the rear of the cave, another holy man was attending to a modestly sized Reclining Buddha statue. Between 11am and 12noon we can see the sun light thru caves hole reach Buddha face. It is not the most attractive reclining Buddha in Malaysia but the fact that it was constructed in such a setting is impressive. Every corner of the caves you can see the water dripping and real lively caves which we called stalagmite and stalactites. It’s really huge caves would say 4 to 5 times bigger than Batu Caves. I was amazed with the way they build the path way and some of the shrine with just depend on rope and public help. The temple was well clean and I was blessed when reached the temple around 11am with Abhishegam continue with prayers at 12noon. Those who really wanted see the temple and caves please try to reach by 11am. Note: Please do not touch any of caves stones especially when it’s wet which will affect the growth.

There’s a SivaLinggam inside this cave. Mesmerising. The atmosphere inside the cave is nice. Different kind of vibrant. Hope the local authorities maintain this place well. Be careful if you travel with children. Saw some cave snakes and hundreds of Bat on the way to the SivaLinggam. Close at 5pm.

My journey to Sivan temple gua charas was very astonishing. Of course it is a steep climb to reach the cave entrance, so kindly take note as it is not safe to take small kids or anyone having trouble climbing stairs. The interior of the cave is well constructed. But the steel steeps leading to the cave entrance are quite rusty , some steeps look like it is in danger of breaking . So again a gentle reminder, please be cautious . However if you managed to reach inside the cave many wonderful deities, like shivan, yinayagar, Hanuman , sleeping Buddha and many others do inquire before going there as the signboards say the cave is closed at 5pm. There are toilets right at the parking area and also inside the cave.

It's a really good place to visit a Hindu temple and a buddha temple in the caves. Not too high to climb. But the upkeeping is really bad. Beer cans everywhere. I'm really upset by that. And the priests smoke in the temple. It's quite sad to see this. Thought of giving it there stars, but two should suffice.

Beautiful architecture and natural formation of the cave. Legends says there is a big white snake around this parts. If you get a glimpse of it. Very good luck. Anyways the place is also filled with different types of sculptures of both Hindu and Buddhist cultures. Very cooling inside the cave. But to get to the cave need to climb a short but steep flight of stairs. Do thread carefully. Worth the climb though.

There was a lot of construction debris and rubbish everywhere. Do not recommend going out of the way to visit, since they don't put in the effort to make the place worth visiting.

This place is great for studying geography as it has many geographical features. The interior of the cave is cooling and many shrines and statues are inside too. This place is not wheelchair friendly as you have to hike up a few levels of stairs and the floor in the cave is slippery. Also I would recommend visiting this place in a group instead of alone as it’s quite dark inside and this place has low reception. Also bring a strong torchlight with you so that you can explore the dark areas inside the cave. Do pay this place a visit if you ever visit Kuantan.

Its a simple place with lots of statues. This highlight should be the 8 minute walk of a dragon from its tail and come out from its mouth - see my video to understand further. Its suppose to give you luck. Oh also, there a huge bell and you make a wish and use a fish hammer to knock it 3 times and wala; ur wishes comes true 😎. The boss of the place was there to tell us what to do. Very nice mannered and for that this deserves a 5 star.

Kuantan's Laozi Temple, formally known as the Kuantan Taoist Association Laozi Temple, is a prominent spiritual sanctuary in Pahang, Malaysia. Beyond its role as a sacred heart for the local Chinese community, it is a living vessel for Taoist culture and the timeless teachings of Laozi. Its distinctive architecture is not merely a landmark on Kuantan's landscape but a tranquil haven where followers can find inner peace and engage in cultural enrichment. Within its serene grounds, the temple's pond offers a surprising sight: the rare pig-nosed turtle, a living testament to the Taoist ideal of natural harmony. Complementing this spiritual retreat is a sprawling durian orchard, which is also home to the unique red banana—a fruit whispered to be sweeter than its common counterpart, with a delicate hint of mango.

Interesting temple but some areas were not maintained properly. The caretaker was very friendly, taught us how to pray and explained a lot about the temple.

Great place to explore Chinese culture... Dedicated owners to preserve Taoism knowledge... Friendly owners to assist you to understand some of the culture. Ample of parking with an entrance fee of RM5.00/adult which the money is channel to maintaining the place.

RUDE and TERRIBLE temple caretaker! DO NOT RECOMMEND! When I visited, he kept telling us to pray before taking photos. I asked him to let me finish taking pictures first, promising to pray later, but he got upset and scolded me. He said if I didn't follow the rules, I should leave. Considering we paid RM3 per person to visit the temple and an additional RM5 per person to enter the dragon tunnel, I expected a warmer welcome. Instead, I left feeling angry - the first time I've ever had such a negative experience at a temple.

It was lovely place with an such an inspiring and charming in-charge. It is a Taoism temple open for all. Parking is available. It will be a good learning and experience. Try walking the dragon trail bare footed. It will induce positive vibe in you due to the acupressure point massage of your feet. Also you can check your own endurance.

Rm5 per entry. Ample parking space. They have a variety of chinese gods and a mini dinosaur park. You are able to walk within the dragon that streches along the temple. There are foot reflexology stones and paintings within the dragon. Really awesome place although if you arrive in the afternoon, expect a sweltering heat of at least 37 degree.

You’ll need to queue before ordering, but the line moves quite fast. The mango cheesecake and pavlova were soooo delicious — definitely worth the wait! Although the drinks menu isn’t very extensive, everything we tried was really good. Plus, the view of Menara and Kuantan makes the whole experience even better. A great spot to relax and enjoy some sweet treats!

Tried their popular mango cheesecake and understand why people queue for it, light, creamy, and refreshing. The café is simple but welcoming, with quick service even when it’s busy. Great for an afternoon treat. Worth a visit if you’re exploring Kuantan’s food spots.

Outside waiting n queue up long for dine in. We order takeaway. Just scan the barcode n there another counter for pick up. Waiting for 5min to take my order. From outside very nice atmosphere inside dine in. The signature cheese mango cake very nice. Not very sweet but the juice topping are sweet. Prefer without topping. Opposite the shop are Kuantan Tower 188.

The famous cafe in Kuantan where everybody want to visit to try the signature Mango Cheesecake. The cafe is located opposite the Kuantan tower and at the endlot unit. Customer need to line up outside the shop and go in to order/buy when come to your turn. They allow 2-4 customers inside the ordering area because the area is to small. The dining area is outside the shop but it is nice and shady. Price is reasonable and worth to try. I love to eat mango especially Harumanis and the Mango Cheesecake was perfect to me. 😊 At the moment they also serving Durian Cheesecake. You guys can try.

The mango cheese cake were thier house brand, I tried biscoff cake recommend by the server, taste not too sweet. Good place to visit and gather. I take few step walk to visit Kuantan 188 tower, it was just locate opposite this Kula Cafe

Decided to solo drive from JB → Kuantan just to celebrate my birthday with Kula Cakes and honestly, totally worth it! ✨ To the lovely lady at the entrance who served customers on 27/10 around 12:30pm — you deserved that drink I treated you to ❤️ I hope you continue to ignore those negative and self entitled customers. To everyone visiting: Please remember to bring a good heart and patience too. The staff are working so hard to serve you better and meet your expectations. There’s no harm in being kind to every human being. ☕🍰✨ cheers

The mango cheese cake is totally worth the 1 hour queue. The Hazelnut Chocolate Pavlova was delicious too. The pavlova is very light, and both cakes are not too sweet. There’s seating places next to the store.

An old mall, that has seen greater heights Harvey Norman is here as anchor Jalan Jalan Jalan is also anchor here Have a lot of bazaar during weekends Also have warehouse sales

Another Kuantan city legend and old Shopping Mall 😉 This Shopping Mall looks huge and big 😌 I remember come to here when I was kids, mostly because Popular Bookstore before they're moved to new Shopping Mall 🥹 But sadly most of their OG shop are closed such as, Parkson, POPULAR Bookstore, Giant and GSC Cinema 😔 Not to mentioned, some of their escalator are keep not working and not fixed it until now, mostly need the lift to go to several floor 🥺 But luckily, they have still got some visitors and customers, mostly because Jalan Jalan Japan, Tatako Kuantan, Kuantan Megalanes, Harvey Norman and more 😅 Hope they will fix issues and more interesting shop that I stated before 👍 Approved by MochiNeko 😺🍡

Big mall, currently under refurbishing. Most shops are closed. Saving grace is the aircon and McDonald’s. And for goodness sake please lubricate the sliding glass door at main entrance.

This is Kuantan city another legend shopping mall and quite famous those days 🛒🛍️ They're previously known by now permanently closed Giant, POPULAR Bookstore, Parkson and more 📚 Until now this shopping mall feels like half abandoned shopping mall since some shop that attracted a lot of visitors are closed, some of them are stated previously 😮‍💨 Even until now they have some shop that still can try to help to attract visitors like Jalan Jalan Japan, Tatako, Wedding Hall and Megalanes Bowling Corner, also some event on here too 😄 Their toilet quite okay but still not sure how clean the toilet room 🤔 But sadly they're still have some issues for their several elevator, still not fixed yet and even take too long to fix it 😢 Hope they can have more new shops for more visitors and fix the elevators for easier visitors to another level without lift 👍

Old mall. Not much shops. It is pretty clean and tidy. I think they tried to revive and reinvent the place but to no avail. Nostalgic feeling coming back here after more than 10 years.

It was the most happening shopping complex before in Kuantan back in early in 2000s, it had the biggest arcade at top floor. Many shops for shopping and weekend family hangout place. But now it is a quite deserted and left for starbucks and sketchers .. to be suprise the guardian still have the old signboard .

Located next to Grand Darulmakmur hotel. Deserted mall. Not many customers, most probably because there are many new malls. Have a cinema at the third level. There are clothings, shoes, jewellery, gadgets and watch stores. Also, they have McDonald and other restaurants. At the ground level, there is a sale of cheap clothings, a men 's T-shirt for RM29, children for RM19, and babies RM5

Went on it on labour day with a group of youngsters. To have the best experience, it's better to call them instead of straightaway going at the jetty. They'll tell you if there's a slot for you cuz it is group basis that requires a certain quorum. The driver was so engaging. Although we didn't find any big crocodiles but we all enjoyed the fun facts and ride up until South China Sea. Snacks, fruits and drinks were available in the ship. The surprising twist was the ladies get to learn how to steer the boat hehe. For Rm99, it's truly a one of a kind experience. Totally recommended! 😁👌

The evening river cruise experience was truly wonderful. Both my elderly parents and teen boys enjoyed the cruise. The tour guide, Mr Zainal, was engaging, informative and entertaining. He was also a good sport to let my special son try steering the boat for a few minutes which I am pretty sure left a lifetime of sweet memories for my son. His patience in trying to spot crocodiles for us to see and cheerful nature made the river cruising truly fun and simply awesome. As a tourist, I highly recommend this cruise operator for you to embark your river cruise journey with. 💫👍

Fabulous river cruise..the owner/captain was fabulous and very entertaining. There were 8 of us on the trip and he was sure to engage with all of us individually..we saw loads of wildlife including around 8 crocodiles of various sizes and lots of monitor lizards too. Went out to the sea afterwards and got to go and see a shop wreck too. Was such a great couple of hours. Lots of drinks provided and snack crackers, nuts and biscuits too.

Definitely a 5 star rating for this Kuantan River Cruise!! We brought our students from South Korea to experiance this river cruise, eventhough it was also the first time for us. Fortunately, Mr Zainal and his Team didnt disappoint us at all. In fact, I would highly recommend this package to all visitors, tourists and local residents alike. But, always look for Mr Zainal's package, and you would surely be satisfied!! We started our cruise at 4:30 pm, and the weather was very kind to us. After suiting up with a life jacket each, we were ready to go. Mr Zainal started his tour with a safety briefing first, before describing what to look for. The small korean children were so excited with the thought of seeing some life crocodiles that they didnt realize one was swimming just parallel to our boat...and that was an awesome sight to behold!! After that, they kept asking for more, and Mr Zainal would expertly manouver the boat to all possible nooks and cranies where he knew we could find more. The koreans were very entertained by Mr Zainal's friendly banters and jokes, where he also displayed his vast knowledge of the subject matters, despite delivering them in his wicked sense of humor. The korean children were screaming with shocks and awes when the boat performed some fast and thrilling stunts. We were shown the various fishing boats docking by the side of the river and some background on the local fishing industry. We also managed to catch glimpses of the otters and mud skippers at the river banks. A speeding thrust towards the open sea was the highlight of the cruise, as the water was more choppy and the water was splashing on our faces!! But we didnt mind it so much, as the feeling was simply marvellous, and the views were spectacular!! On the last leg we noticed that a drone was flying very close to our boat, and knowing that our antics were being recorded made the korean children even more excited. It came as a pleasant surprise to us that a copy of the video taken by the drone was given to us at the end of the cruise. We arrived back at the Shahbandar Jetty at 6:00 pm, and everybody was smiling happily...Thank you, Mr Zainal and Team..

We went for evening cruise and took the private trip. Mr Zainal and team were very welcoming and friendly. The boat is well maintained and cosy. We managed to found a few crocodiles and otters. It was very exciting. Mr Zainal is knowledgeable and close with his community. We learnt a lot about the fishing industry in Malaysia. The kids also enjoyed the session a lot.

Wow, what an awesome cruise and company. Our guide was hilarious and so enthusiastic. They did their best to accomodate a tour happening and at the last minute some other people confirmed and the tour was on. The fire flies completely blew me away, it felt like I was in the avatar movie. We saw around 7-10 baby crocs and a couple of bigger ones between 1 - 1.5 meters long. I highly recommend this company. Only thing I found sad was the amount of rubbish in the river, not a reflection on the tour company at all. Such a magical place here, really wish more people would work towards a cleaner planet. Definitely worth going on this cruise: we had the added bonus of a drone show at the end as it was a public holiday!

Easy booking via WhatsApp, reasonable pricing (with discounts for msians). Nearly 2 hour boat ride up and down Kuantan River, excellent way to view the river and enjoy the sunset. Spotted some small and very shy crocs and a pretty eagle up close. Boatman (sorry forgot the name) and wife are the boat operators, very friendly and interesting explanations and intro of the wildlife and history of the river and banks. Boatman said night cruise might have better chance of spotting crocs so will try that next time!

Only thing i wish they have is a flying fox or something like ski lift (chair lift) to get down the hill when our knees are in pain from climbing up.

Good exercise track for the family. 1.8km to the top. There is the option to use the Denai Trail instead

Either using paved or trail route.. Both are challenging.

Best place in town to hiking

Simply beautiful and nature. Steep climb and worth it. Saw many birds and monkey on the way.

Good experience for grilled fish right next to our hotel. The seafood is very fresh. But the spices used on the grilled fish is too overwhelming with too little petai. First time experience eating the petai with the skin on it!

3rd visit here. The service has not gotten any better. Food came late, and to make things worst, wrong order. Spoilt our mood & appetite since we were craving for their ikan bakar. Parking is still quite a challenge here, u might have to park by the side of the road which is not well lit.

Famous spot in Kuantan but food was just okay. Service was slow, we ordered 5 dishes and 2 of them came very late. Also asked for a small bowl but the waiter never came back. Overall an average experience despite the popularity. #muchtoimprove #kuantan #food #ikanbakar #seafood #dinner #pahang #restaurant

We went on Thursday and believe not such a big crowd so seafood lesser and not the freshest! Prawns are farmed & they removed the heads already on the raw table for sale. So perhaps not so fresh. We skipped that. Grouper was v good and fresh with bakar sambal petai! V tasty! 665g xRM7. 50 =Rm49👍 Squid was disappointing as came battered deep fried flour (we don't like salted egg) n felt like tasteless fried rubber bands. We should have just bakar. Kangkong was v good! Crowd startedstreaming in at 8pm!

The grilled fish with petai was tasty, but unfortunately it arrived last, much later than the other dishes. We had to pack it and eat at the hotel because of the delay. The tom yum was just okay, the omelette was too oily, and the spoon provided was quite dirty. The most disappointing part was the service at the counter. When we arrived, there was no greeting or smile — the cashier just said “129” bluntly. When we asked for a receipt, she looked annoyed and just threw it at us. Even when we said thank you, she didn’t respond at all. We came all the way from KL, but being treated this way was really disappointing. Probably won’t come back if the service stays like this.

Nothing special. Just mainstream and pricey. Service super slow even with few customers. Next time in Kuantan, we will try other seafood spots for sure

Although we had problems with our orders (they came ridiculously late), the food was excellent. Ikan bakar and steam, sotong goreng salted egg, kailan ikan masin and sata were all very tasty.

Ordered curry noodle and dry noodle with curry on the side. Taste is decent but price is reasonable. You can also request to add cockles in your curry. Recommend to try.

In most checklist of visiting foodie, old school stall in location. Traditional flavorful curry, customize with add on for a more omph set. Coffee average. Friendly staff, limited seats with fast service.

This Chinese restaurant is a great place for breakfast. They serve Soup Mee, Curry Mee and Ketchup Mer — all pork-free. The taste is good and the portion is just right. They also have many drinks to choose from, including teh tarik, kopi, and etc. Service is fast, the place is clean, and the prices are reasonable. Perfect for a quick, tasty, and halal-friendly breakfast.

As a malay that love Chinese food this place one of my favourite, its my first time and i love it. At first the curry mee (bihun) taste something missing then i saw some condiments on the table, i try put 1 teaspoon which i assume the sambal and it goes mind blown and with that i now know why this OG Chinese small restaurant still serves their food till now. Aunty so friendly with big smiles despite being so busy serving and taking orders. The reviews was so sad, maybe they dont use the condiments provided saying overated, logically the price per bowl below rm10 and serves a big portions with full toppings. About drinks just a standard which dont care enough about it, its not bad price was okay la if you understand logic of current economy. About environment you cant aspect too much its old but pass standard cleanliness if you go back kitchen, theres hidden tables at the back

Humble little coffee shop. The curry laksa was ok . Not over powering taste and spiciness. They have soup noodles too. The staff here are friendly and helpful. Since it is near the tourist attraction of teluk cempedak and hyatt hotel. Maybe a good place to try local street food.

Authentic feel at the restaurant. Hard to come by nowadays. We are the 1st customer of the day, visiting right after 7am. Warm welcome by the owner. Not those thick, santan, curry. Lighter but doesn't loose the spiciness. Can request for extra paste if need further boost. Fresh ingredients. We enjoy our morning breakfast there apart from the sweat after eating curry.

Simple but nice Curry mee. Just order and you will like it. The inside of the kopitiam is hot. You should sit outside. Curry mee is not so spicy, but the curry sauce is very fragrant. Coupled with kopi or teh and that makes it a fulfilling lunch. The curry mee does have a lot of ingredients. Sedap!👏👏👏

Second time here for lunch! Prices are pretty affordable, and the ulam and gulai lemak were fresh and tasty – loved the mix of sweet and sour! Only thing: the fried ayam kampong was a bit cold, though. Would’ve been perfect if it was warmer! Overall, still a solid spot! 👍

Was looking for a lunch place that served Patin Tempoyak, instead of going to the hyped restaurant, decided to give this one a try. The tail Patin Tempoyak portion is generous, mild fermented durian, sauce is slightly thicken but not the pais style, only hope the restaurant would take the initiative to warm the fish before serving. The boss is generous enough to let us try the Tempoyak daun keledek which opens up our flavours profile, I guess the bunga kantan and other herbs.

Tried the patin tempoyak (a rich, tangy dish made from catfish cooked in fermented durian sauce) at Akob Patin House. Arrived around 3pm after Friday prayers. They still had fish, though not much left. Patin head was RM30, and flesh around RM45. Staff were friendly and helpful. I had patin head tempoyak with rice, ulam, and iced Americano.. all for RM35. Tasty and surprisingly affordable! If you're near the state mosque or the tower, it's just a short walk over. :))

Longing to try patin tempoyak.The taste was so so,fish cooked in watery spicy durian flavour.As for daging salai masak lemak,all I can taste is the spiciness from the chilli.Rice was too dry.Dishonest when it comes to payment.Not worth for a slice of Rm 30 fish and a bowl of Rm 10 soupy smoked meat.

Authentic local food, the Most inspiring and unforgettable dish is sayur rebung masak lemak pedas, rebung ( bamboo shoots) are from Chenor !, coupled up with daging salai masak lemak cili api will send your taste buds flying high to the sky!! Brought home some and we end up eating the same dish for 2 days wanting for more! Hi hi.. Patin goreng is also recommended.

We arrived during lunchtime, and there's plenty of lauk and seating. Food was okay with variety of lauk, not just Patin. The price is good as well, our total meal for 2 cost rm17.90 including drinks (without the Patins tho). Unfortunatel our meals were interrupted by rats arguing under the restaurant's fridge. We have told the cashier lady, but she just 'okay and will look in to it' with not amused face. I hope they care more about the cleanliness of the area.

tempotak is the best😍😍😍 so yummy and fresh, service good 👍

Teluk Cempedak Beach is absolutely stunning! 🌊✨ The golden sandy shore, clear blue waters, and refreshing sea breeze make it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy nature. The beach is clean and well-maintained, with plenty of food stalls, restaurants, and local shops nearby. It’s great for families, couples, or even solo travelers who just want to enjoy a peaceful day by the sea. You can also spot monkeys around the area, which adds to the fun experience (just be careful with your food!). Whether it’s for a morning walk, a sunset view, or just soaking in the waves, Teluk Cempedak never disappoints. Truly one of Kuantan’s gems and a must-visit destination! 🌴☀️

The most beautiful beach in Malaysia because it was so clean and was maintained properly. You can find cafes with such beautiful views of the beach including hotels here. It's such a beautiful city with great views!

It's one of the famous beaches in Kuantan. Not as crowded on weekdays, but to be honest, there are more beautiful beaches elsewhere (try Pantai Pelindung).

Woke up early to catch the sunrise but not early enough and miss it.. LOL.. beautiful beach with soft sand. A small crowd already there at 7.15am. They should catch the sunrise and they are already done with their photo shots of the horizon. Few popular shops around it such a McDonald's and Starbucks. Several food kiosk surrounding it as well. Need to park parking fee of RM2.50 per entry to park. Otherwise, you can choose to park around the perimeter roads.

Visited during Public Holiday. Crowd but still enjoyed. Big area, clean beach. Mcd, KFC, Starbucks, 7-11, FamilyMart etc around walking distance. So many activities for children.

I haven't visited for at least 2 years. Nice to see the beach being kept up well. Happy to see a Family Mart and a Chagee pop up here.

Nice place for you to relax and enjoying the beach and sea view. This is the favourite spot for the tourist and local people. Lot of cafe and stall you can find along the beach i.e. Starbucks, Mcdonalds, Family Mart, Kupi TC, Foodcourt, Loteng Cafe and etc. Expect some crowd during weekend and public/school holidays.

Small and efficient airport. Served only 2 flights when I was there. A scoot international flight to Singapore and a domestic flight to KL. Plenty of seating areas. One cafe and a convenience store serves the airport. International departure holding area a bit on warm side. Suraus available at international departure as well as before check in area

We were here today to welcome a group of Korean students with their teachers who would be visiting the International School of Kuantan for two weeks. The koreans flew in from Seoul, Korea via KLIA, and found that the direct flight to Kuantan was the best approach to visit the East Coast. Eventhough the airport is relatively small, all the facilities were up to date and working well, making their travel very convenient and seamless. Hopefully the powers-that-be could arrange for more flights to Kuantan from various destinations to create more positive impacts on the local tourism here. My wife being the CEO, had arranged for various activities besides the in class learning experience, including a visit to Genting Highlands, turtle watching at Cherating Beach, horseback riding at the beach and hiking up to the Rainbow Waterfall in Sungai Lembing. Lets hope that the Korean students would enjoy all the planned activities...

The airport only opens when there is a flight. For the most part only Malaysia Airlines have a daily flight to Kuantan from KLIA, one at about 925am and another at 630pm, and a return flight at 1030am and 755pm. At the point of writing Scoot also flies from Kuantan to Singapore and back three times a week. The airport is bare, with one grocery store and a cafe, with some rental car stalls open. Toilets are clean and functioning. Airside, there is nothing for you but a coway water dispenser. Police will actually call you to go through the check in counters and security can get a bit more strict here. Overall from check in desk to airside takes only 20 minutes. Its a very fuss free and efficient airport

Is a small airport. Limited shop. Is only accessible by taxi or e hailing vehicle. Is a great view to take window A seat cos the flight will fly along the coast line until pekan before turning to West, to KLIA.

The airport is quite quiet because there are only 2 flights involving Scoot Airways and Malaysia Airlines. Clean toilets. The surau is clean but not cheerful. There is a small cafe for passengers who are waiting for their flight, but the food and drink options are limited. The staff here are very nice, especially the staff at the MAS Check-in counter, very helpful. #sayamustipilih👍

AC is cold, toilets are clean. Unfortunately, the PA system seriously lacking speech inteligiblity, having difficulty understanding what the female announcer is saying. This issue can be easily resolved. Wonder why remains as it is.

Small regional airport, remember to fill your stomach before coming over as there is no cafeteria or shop opened in the morning. There are plenty of car parks here. The place is clean and tidy. One thing to keep in mind if you are traveling here is that there are very limited flight options.

Spend some time to visit this street art in the town centre .. better to come before sunset or early morning to avoid the direct sun and heat. Quite a numbers of good 3D art from the artist and one can download their app to view the effects of 3D popping up on your screen. Parking not a problem during my weekend visit here.

A long stretch of wall art, and I love how they incorporated old, retro, and defunct electronics like TVs and radios to complement the artwork. Be sure to check out the left or right stretch when you’re at the junction, there’s some wall art there too!

Very interesting place with retro style painting along the street. But do remember to apply sunscreen and bring your umbrella if you come visit in the morning or afternoon. It's worth a visit if you come to Kuantan, most importantly it is FREE😆

What a place. This is the second time I have visited kuatan and the first time I saw these beautiful paintings on the wall. I like the 3D Paintings on Art street walls. When I was moving on the street it gave me a very pleasant feeling. Also some people I saw there keep on cleaning the surroundings and making the wall more attractive. It was awarded in 2022 for its excellence. Highly Recommended 👍👍👍

There are many big wall paintings that show local life and culture. It’s a great place to take photos and enjoy a nice walk. The street is clean and safe, and good for families and tourists. A must-visit spot in Kuantan!

We had an amazing time and experience here. They even have painted foot prints on the ground to give you the position to take the photo.

Our bus was scheduled to depart at 12:30pm, we had a few hours before that to play with in Kuantan area. We did like wall arts we saw in New York, Lisbon, and Penang. So we got interested in this art street as well. We arrived there around 10am, which was a lucky timing because our shadow is short and the photos turned out very realistic and we seemed blended in pretty well with each work. I loved the artists’ imagination here. Not only paintings themselves, but also they specified the spot where cameramen should stand by painting footprints on the ground. They also used actual stuff to make it look more 3D such as chairs, tubes on the wall, baskets, boats and etc. If you like illusional photo shoots as a hobby, I think this place is really fun. There is the Kuantan tower nearby. We saw very old phone booth in the area. A lot of cafe and restaurants are nearby, so even in a super hot day, you should be able to manage yourself not to get overheated. I think this is a very considerate tourist site, so we can easily focus on “having fun” part.

Best malay food I had for a long time!!

Tasty seafood, but service needs tightening. We had butter prawns, fried squids, and barbecue fish. The prawns and squids were flavorful and arrived quickly. The fish, however, came much later—well after the rest of the meal. The delay disrupted the flow of the dining experience. Food quality is commendable, but they should improve order coordination and timing.

This is my 2nd time here, and honestly the food tastes even better than the 1st visit! + Signature dish ikan bakar petai is just awesome! We tried pari bakar and it was perfect. + Seafood are fresh, and the price tags are still affordable. + Premise is clean, with friendly staff. - Parking can be a havoc & difficult to find during peak dinner time.

Went on dinner saturday night 7PM. Still so difficult to find car parking. Wanted to eat jenahak but was not available. We chosed ikan aji-aji and pari for the ikan bakar. Plates were dirty, we had to go back to the counter to select out own plates. And many food sellers coming to tables when we were trying to enjoy our food. Overall the taste were okay, we were hoping for better tastes. There were surau located nearby and playground for kids.

Food taste need to improve, seriously. This time is far different from the last year. Please improve. Ada few food i x boleh makan because of the taste.

Not recommended.... the only good thing is large spaces & many dining tables... other than that is bad

Had dinner at Ana Ikan Bakar Petai, Perkampungan Tanjung Lumpur, Kuantan and honestly, everything was on point. The sotong goreng tepung was amazingly crispy, golden outside and tender inside. The ikan kerapu bakar petai had a smoky fire-grill aroma that hit just right and the petai added that punch of flavour. Sata was nicely done, grilled smoky, moist inside. Keropok lekor was chewy-fresh, fried just enough to give it crunch without being greasy. We got there early at about 6pm so parking was easy and snagged a table straightaway. Service wasn’t slow at all, even though the place fills up. If you love fresh seafood & want bold local flavours with zero fuss, Ana Ikan Bakar Petai is a must-try.

Large and nice view of recreation park at kuantan..but always beware of wild monkey around lake..

We have been having our morning walks here for three mornings in a row, during our recent soujourn in Kuantan. At first, we just wanted to try it and compare it with our Kelana Jaya lakes, but as it turned out to be quite popular with the locals, we eventually got hooked ourselves. Just like in Kelana Jaya, we started our walk early, at around 6:30 am. Eventhough it was still dark, we noticed a large crowd was already walking that sunday morning. The pathway was paved with interlocking blocks, but was slightly uneven at certain portions, mainly due to some overgrown tree's roots system beneath the pathways. Hence, we had to be quite careful not to stumble over the hidden cracks along the way. But the most surprising element was definitely the monkeys!! Located next to the forest reserve, this park is unfortunately swarming with wild monkeys, and their huge numbers totally shocked us. Eventhough none of them were posing any threats to the humans at the moment, but the sheer number of big and small families of monkeys tend to frighten younger children. I could observe that they were scavenging for discarded and leftover foods from the rubbish bins, while making a bigger mess in the process. If only the powers that be could maintain a better hygine and cleanliness level at the park, and employ more workers to keep the rubbish at bay, this would be a much safer place for family activities. I could see there were some paddle boats available for rental by the public, but the presence of the monkeys would definitely offer a stiff competition for the boats! The flora and fauna were the most positive aspects of this park. Beside that, there was a newly built basketball court and a netball court as well, which were patronized by the monkeys already from what I saw. There were sufficient carparking lots for the crowds to attend for local events and activities being organized here. We came across an empty foodcourt building which was only operating from 4:00 pm until midnight, and that was just a huge waste of space and opportunity, as the morning crowd didnt get to enjoy the facilities already available there. Again, another aspect for the powers that be to ponder...

Walking is great for our health and wellbeing. Walking in nature is great! This place exuduces calm and serene feeling. Bring your spouse and kids here and forget the hustle and bustle of day to day life.

Had our morning walk here and covered for 3km for 2 rounds of the lake. Be sure to arrive early (before 8am) so you won't miss the sunrise. Some path may look narrow, but giving ways to other ppl is a nice gesture. Think some areas should be cleaned up to maintain the areas. Will repeat! Do be careful of the monkeys too- sometimes they are a bit too friendly.

Good place for recreation. Family friendly

Really nice park with boat rentals. Many playgrounds for the children. Many cute rabbits and a nice walking path around the whole lake.

Nice place to go jogging. There is a playground n boat ride plus other attractions. UNFORTUNATELY.. 1. Place need repairs/upgrade 2. Proper drainage system needed at the playground 3. Pavement/inter locking bricks need repairs.

A newly built public park with an artistic, modern design. A lovely spot to enjoy the morning breeze while overlooking the local fishermen’s jetty and boats.

Having lunch seafood, reasonably priced. Prawns and Cuttlefish goes by the Kilo's but the freshness of seafood are guaranteed. Open for lunch time till midnight. The foods are delicious and nutritious.

Great fried seafood with affordable price

Nice view of fisherman boats

Now everyone has restaurant. Those days it just nice stalls... with ikan bakar.. or udang celup tepung or sotong celup tepung together with teh ais or kopi ais..Pahang style... now its all Kelantanese style.. with tomyam...

Best place for ikan/seafood bakar. Presently work in progress for waterfront city..the best still yet to come. Sea view from Swiss Bell hotel...relaxing.

Too crowded during public holiday. Suggest book & order your meal in advance, do not walk-in. Go for small restaurant like Sri Tanjung.

Long and clean beach with very fine gray sand. Doesn't look attractive compared to other beaches.

Long beach, not crowded at all. Grey coloured sand that many years ago was white. Good for a long walk or jog and it can get very hot in the afternoon sun so visit early morning or in the evening. The waves were fairly calm so you can also go swimming here. Not a ton of places, if any, to stop and eat or grab a drink along the beachfront which is quite surprising. A nice beach cafe or small restaurant would be very nice to relax and watch the ocean. There was a guy driving up and down selling ice creams. Lots of people doing ATV rides which can be a bit noisy/spread fumes. The beach is ok. Unfortunately some spots are a bit dirty. It looks like sewage comes down from the towns via the rivers so those areas can be quite smelly.. Only a small amount of litter in the sand.

Nice beach, white sand, relatively clean. The beach facing directly south china sea, has icon of karst rock, and able to be reached during low tide. Surrounding here you can find also dew restaurants and hotel. Perfect place yo enjoy sunrise.

Beautiful place and not crowded, suitable for kids to enjoy the beach and the ocean. Will definitely come back again!

though not popular compare to TC teluk cempedak and Cherating, this beach provides peaceful scenery.

a typical place for families with children, large swimming pool

Went for a morning jog along the riverside. The pathway is well-maintained and wide which is nice enough to run. It stretches along the river with a beautiful view of the surrounding greenery. Loved the gentle breeze, the quiet ripple of the river, and the soft morning sunlight. Everything felt still, quiet, and just right.

Perfect for walkabout with family. Serene and picturesque.

Great place for a leisurely walk

River night view. Not windy.

Beware of MPK’s officers, make sure you have parking ticket.

It was cool and beautiful at night time. Easy to buy food and drinks through their nice little store. Seen some rental bikes with 2 people can ride and drive together. Nice place also to relax 😌.

Great place with natural view. Calm and have great sights Usually have families and kids around Enjoy the peaceful environment and beautiful view Recommended for people who want some break

Nice area. Great for pictures too. Would recommend if you like cats 😺

Soft sand...cold breeze...issa good place to have a picnic with family and hangout with friends...i dont know how to describe a beach sorry btw u can swimming in the beach if its not in raining season..i cant rate 5 star because there is some trash left by some irresponsible people...so far its great

Nice view but not much parking. Suitable for family & couple

Good place to hav a drink and enjoy the windy beach

One of Good place to take sunrise scenery. Quite big beach and long beach for you to do brisk walk or beach run

This beach near Mandurah Hotel, after breakfast can chill here.

Simple is the name, Batu Hitam, simpler is the enjoyment of having a stroll here. Simply a great place to relax and unwind.

I was served by a Malay guy who was really nice and friendly. It happened to be my brother’s birthday, and the waiter politely asked if the staff could play a birthday song for us, which made the experience even more special. The food was absolutely delicious — we ordered the spinach & cream cheese pizza, Puteh nachos beef, and the Puteh signature mocktail. Everything was so tasty, and we truly enjoyed our time here.

The cooking was excellent, atmosphere was great with fire show, service was fantastic. If there was 7 stars, I would give it. Keep it up guys. Definitely will come back again 😊

We had dinner at this cozy beachside restaurant, and it was such a vibe! The open-air setup with soft lighting, white rustic furniture, and woven lanterns gave it a relaxed yet romantic atmosphere. The sand floor added a nice barefoot-beach feel, and the gentle sea breeze made everything even more refreshing. The ambiance truly stood out. modern tropical décor with purple and warm-toned lights that created a perfect evening glow. It’s ideal for couples or small groups wanting a chill dinner by the sea. The staff seemed friendly and shoutout to extraordinary service from Mader Liza. The food spread also looked good.

Experience 2/5 • Service: Poor. The waitress couldn’t communicate in English and requested us to speak Malay, which made the experience less welcoming. • Food: Taste was average but prices were on the higher side. • Environment: The decor is nice, but considering it’s along the beach, there are plenty of other restaurant options nearby. • Drinks: Limited selection. No cocktails available, only bottle beer. Overall: The experience was below expectation. It felt more like a neighbourhood restaurant in terms of service standards rather than a beachside spot worth revisiting.

The culinary experience was suboptimal, with the speed of service being inconsistent. The mushroom soup, which initially appeared appetising, proved to be devoid of any discernible flavour, and instead possessed a peppery taste. The smoked duck was found to contain a number of undesirable sour flavours, a defect also present in the black pepper sauce. I was unable to resist bringing both items to the attention of the waiter for his opinion. When a complaint was made about the sour taste of the black pepper sauce, the response was simply the condiment cooked with water and flavour. The two plates of chicken cutlets were accompanied by black pepper sauce, which proved to be a source of dissatisfaction. The condiment was found to be excessively sour in one instance and excessively salty in another. The chicken cutlets themselves exhibited an absence of flavour, with the oil flavour being the only discernible taste. It’s surprising that a restaurant with such poor food quality can receive so many positive reviews. If customers and the catering industry tolerate such restaurants using this kind of food quality to attract patrons (putting aside the price — after all, it’s not worth it, and the food quality is terrible), then who would still bother to cook with care? Only suitable for chilldrink, don order the food. (The sudden breaking of the connector of table leg gave everyone a scare. Luckily no one is injure)

“I recently dined at PUTIH Beach Restaurant and was thoroughly impressed by both the exquisite cuisine and the impeccable service. The menu showcased a variety of innovative dishes, blending bold flavors and beautiful presentation. The attentive and knowledgeable staff Mother Liza’s ensured that our meal was a memorable one, providing excellent recommendations and ensuring our satisfaction. I can’t recommend Putih Restaurant enough for a fantastic dining experience.”

Although they have so many reviews, I believe the most of them are not genuine. Definitely a beautiful place for taking Instagramable pictures. But didn't like the vibes here. It felt like the staff were sales and target orientated, i certainly didn't feel the friendliness that other reviews states. Sitting on the wooden platforms is very uncomfortable as the entire floor shakes when people walk.

The park is huge and has many live animals as well like a zebra, siamang, otters, crocodiles and deers. I think the price is appropriate tbh considering the park is huge, clean and quite well maintained. Almost all the dinosaurs move (with motion sensors im guessing) and my son really really enjoyed his trip. There are also playground for kids to play. I highly recommend a visit with your little ones here. Best part? its not crowded at all.

In my 1st opinion, they should remove "zoo" from name. There only got few animals in their care. Anyway my kids love it, that's why I give 4 star instead of 3.

Zoo Teruntum is a pretty good spot to hang out with the little ones. It's an easy place to get to with plenty of parking, and there's a nice mix of animals to check out. It's definitely worth going at least once, but honestly, it's probably not a place I'd come back to again.

Just a standard zoo. Entry price is ok range. Not that high, not cheap. Not many living animals inside. But the dinosaur statue/machine, theres LOTS of them in here. Can take many picture, and if ur kid like dinosaur then they will have good time. I arrive at around 11am. Not recommended to come at this hour. Its too hot, and this place not enough tree that cover surface. So u will feel the heat. Better come around 3 or 4 pm onward. No animal to pet (not a petting zoo). nevertheless do come and support this zoo so that they can upgrade ya

Unfortunately, the visit didn’t feel worth the ticket price. I bought a 100 Plus drink inside the zoo and was shocked to find it priced three times higher than at local stores. The animal variety was quite limited, and the dinosaur section appeared run-down and poorly maintained. If you have other options for attractions, I’d recommend going elsewhere. Visiting this zoo might only appeal if you’re truly out of alternatives

Despite the not-so-good review, I feel it is still a decent place to bring kids if you run out of ideas of what to do in Kuantan. We spent 1.5 hours in the park just taking pictures and exploring, the park is clean and can be quite hot if you come in the afternoon. Remember to bring a hat!

Great places especially if you have kids, most of the dinosaurs could move which adds more to the realism. There are also some other animals as well, all of them are cute. But I noticed there's no live shows and some of the tourism visits are closed.

The signboard itself is quite small so it was quite confusing to find the place but I hope the photos shared will help. Ordered the mushroom aglio olio, scone and another dish I can’t recall it’s name. The scones were lovely, we enjoyed it! The other two dishes, I would say average. I like that the aglio olio is a bit spicy but it’s a tad bit too oily. The ambiance is really nice. The place is clean, with a touch of art pieces. The whole are feels well-taken care of and they play good music too. I would come here for coffee or dessert next time.

Very cosy ambience filled with the smell of baked goods. Coconut coffee was average but acceptable, with a sprinkling of coconut bits. Not very coconut-ty. Hot latte and cappuccino were normal. The two cheese quesadillas were a bit dry but okay. The strawberry and cream waffles were slightly sweet but very, very nice and we're served in a generous portion. The chocolate dome was also not overly sweet and extremely delicious. Out of all the items I ordered, I'd definitely try this again. The other cakes also looked very Instagrammable and promisingly tasty, though we did not try them. They have an interesting art gallery upstairs where you can view local art and purchase a few of them, if you choose to. The staff were not overly friendly and did not welcome us into the cafe. But they were observant and got us extra cutlery before we even asked. After you are seated, they will bring you a menu but you are required to order at the counter. Do expect a bit of waiting time for your food and drinks as they are understaffed. The cafe also did not seem to have a wash basin so do take note of that and sanitize your hands after you use their washroom. Overall, I would come back again to try their waffles and cakes. Maybe even their sandwiches.

January 2023: First of all, the ambiance was great and cozy. Service is so slow unfortunately but the food was delicious not kidding the only bummer is the portion for the spicy chicken grill is small. The mashed potatoes were to die for. Even my picky eater friend agrees. Nice cafe to chill but not to have heavy meals

Visited during high tea time. The cafe environment is quite cozy and nice. Varieties of choices for drinks and foods. Waffle seems to be a famous choice. Ordered white chocolate, earl grey tree, chai coffee and strawberry waffle. Foods and drinks tasted OK. Services are also OK. Prices are OK.

Coffee is good. Tried the rib eye steak and mash. Rib eye was too tough like chewing hard rubber. Careful if you have false teeth. The oreo in a jar is not nice, mostly tasted of fluffy fresh cream. Quesadillas is not bad. Parking is limited

Nice little cozy cafe. Love the vibe and ambience as it's a good place to catch up with your friends or family over a good cup of coffee and delicious food. They have many variety food and beverage on the menu. Great things that they have vegetarian and vegan option too. They pastries are very good, especially the Scones served with jam and cream. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Upstairs of the cafe, there's a little art gallery that you can visit. Most of the artworks are from local young artists.

The place is cosy and beautiful. However, the food is mediocre at best. I ordered salted egg waffle and coffee coke. The waffle is okay, but the only thing I tasted is the coconut ice-cream. The salted egg flavour is so minuscule that the ice-cream overpowered it. Also, my coffee coke smelled like someone's spit. I would have given this cafe at least three stars if not for the not-so-friendly staff. Is it so hard to say welcome or thank you? I wouldn't mind those pleasantries IF this cafe is some random cheap eateries but for a cafe that is somewhat expensive, I do expect some kind of hospitality from the staff.

If you want pahang style kampung foods, this restaurant might be able to serve you! We came at dinner time. Exacty during maghrib prayer. The restaurant had put out a signage indicating that the service will be paused for a moment to give way for maghrib prayer that includes all the staffs. However the wait wasn’t too long. The foods came all at once. We ordered set for 6-8 people that includes a whole ikan patin. Honestly, the portion was great. We also add-on udang galah in which we choose to cook with sambal. The set also includes 2 jugs of beverages. Overall, our experience dining at jamantory was great. The fishes & shrimp tasted fresh. No fishy or muddy smell. The price was affordable.

If you want some authentic Pahang food, this is one of the place you should visit. It have varieties of food that you can try here. From Pais Tempoyak ikan patin to Ayam Kampung. If you don't eat ikan patin, there is also Beef Soup that you can try here. The taste is like a home cook but they make it mass produced. The food you eat here really taste like village home cook where not any place you could get it although they market it as home cook. The decorations and atmosphere is quite nice. The put an antics item all around the place where you will feel nostalgic. The table are also made from slab of wood. But you need to be prepared that this place usually pack with people. But don't worry the food will not take too long to arrive at your table. What I can say, you can enjoy Pahang food here without needing to go to many places just to eat other foods. The price is reasonable since they have a meal set or you can do a la carte.

A friend of ours recommended this place. The vegetables, as you can see, were swimming in a sauce as if it were soup. The fish we ordered was Patin, and thebsauce was rather sour. Even the coconut was very weird. Yellow on the outside, I think it was old, and the taste of it was off. We wanted to order prawns, squid, clams, and all were out of stock. Disappointed.

Food is good. But the environment or the small pot of plant need to look into. As we saw potential place for mosquitoes breeding spot. Told the staff, they did take action directly.

Will come back for the delicious patin masak tempoyak. The gravy is not too sweet and well balanced with a slightly more sour taste. The portion is huge for couple sharing and the price is cheaper than most other outlet selling the same dish.

Joman Tory Resepi is one of the most famous authentic Malay culinary restaurants, known for its nostalgic charm and mouthwatering traditional dishes. The interior design is uniquely retro, showcasing vintage décor that instantly transports you back to the good old days. Every corner tells a story, making it not just a meal but an experience. The food is rich in flavor, prepared with care using time-honored recipes. The staff are attentive and genuinely friendly, adding warmth to the overall dining experience. A must-visit spot for those who appreciate true Malay heritage.

My mom’s friend told us that if we’re in Kuantan, we should try Jaman Tory so that’s how we ended up here. And seriously, I get it now. The food was awesome! I had the ayam kampung goreng and it was so, so good, crispy on the outside yet still tender inside. So satisfying. Mak ordered the gulai ikan patin tempoyak, and it was so good we ended up ordering another one to take away and eat at the hotel later. I am not even a fan of patin or dishes like this, but this one was just too good. The flavour was perfect. Not too spicy, not too sour, not too sweet from the tempoyak. Just nicely balanced. Staff were super attentive, anything we asked for came quickly. The only downside was the parking, which can be a bit of a challenge

It's a good place to hike. The difficulty level to hike is low. It has so many fauna with tags so that we can get know to trees here. However there are so many signal towers at the top and the peak is nowhere but a dead end.

Good for cardio! Towards the evening people just flock to the peak to hike up. Just make sure to get down before sunset as there is no lights. 1 hour back and forth (?) for regular jogger.

If you are into trail running or just want to spend the time with family, here is a good choice. Run uphill through the road or trail. There's lots of iconic insta worthy spots in the national reserve. I met a lot of beautiful creatures!! Will be posting more photos 😁

Becareful to new hikers.. Major construction at 1.0km onwards. Iron rods and steels on pathway side. Be alert as 4wheels cars/motorbikes passing thru more frequent than usual due to construction. Make sure your shoes/boots are durable as road might get slippery from sands/mud and also recent wet weather.

The most famous hiking trek in kuantan.It is about 5km from Kuantan town.You can  either take Teluk Sisek road or Jalan Beserah and exit to Jalan Tengku Muhamad.The main trek is a 2km, 30 to 45 degree incline  tarmac road leading to telecommunication towers. There are more jungle trails on the right and left side of the road.From here you can also trek to Teluk Cempedak and it takes about 40 minutes. There are various trails found here such the Tasik Trail, Trail 1380, Covid Trail, De Embassy Trail and a simple trail from Teluk Chempedak leading to a mini waterfall. Bukit Pelindung comes alive especially on weekends and trekkers begin the tarmac walk as early 5.30 am.Night trekking is also gaining popularity among Kuantan folks in Bukit Pelindung. All these area are under the forest reserve land.

Great recreational place for easy to moderate intensity hiking. Nice greenery seroundings. Fun. Exercise for general wellbeing.

A good place to exercise. Surely u will get sweat as the trail is 30 degree steep for about 1.5KM. Just enjoy the greenery and fresh air of virgin reserve jungle, nearby Kuantan city centre.

Nice cafe. Good service. Food and drinks not bad. Parking is a bit difficult during daytime on weekdays.

I absolutely love the cafe the staff are nice n the cafe itself is great .You guys should go to the cafe n enjoy drinking great latte from their talented barista.

Love the chillvibe over here. They have proper nasi lemak with all the ingredients well made and served it with a warm plate which is a good touch. The chicken is really something too. Vietnamese coffee tasted like the real deal. Wished the glass was fuller though.

Cosy place with vintage books and great, mamak-priced coffee .. Should change this from a store to a cafe sign in Google Maps. Stumble upon this by accident.

Nice ambience and would recommend their minty fresh drink. Absolutely lovely.

Love the cozy ambience here. Perfect place to hangout alone with a book and a drink over the lazy afternoon. There is some book exchange program here which allow you to take home the books you like and donate some other books. They have very limited and simple food menu here. Drinks menu here offer more choices. Price are reasonable.

A wonderful place for an afternoon tea or a night snack. Just about every furniture is hand-made. Great and detailed hospitality. This cafe has so many classic and antique stuff inside it actually does make you feel like you're back in the 1980s. Very comfortable place as well I really do wanna make this my home.

This place needs more recognition! Museum of Contemporary Art — what a beautiful art museum showcasing young local talents. Man, we need more of this! I loved how nice and peaceful the space was. It wasn’t just about aesthetics — as someone from the creative field, I felt genuinely happy seeing a place like this. Entry: RM10 per person. Remark for management – For the children’s art section, please consider adding their names. They deserve the credit!

a very nice place. we arrived at 4.30pm yet they still allowed us to get in even its near their closing time. all of the arts there were beautiful and instagrammable. all of the staffs are nice and helpful. you can even play some of the musical instruments displayed.

We visited the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) and it was such a great experience! Everything was impressive, the exhibits, the atmosphere & the rooms were all comfortably air-conditioned. Totally worth the RM10 entrance fee. We spent around 1–2 hours exploring the museum and there was so much to see. It’s definitely a must-visit spot for art lovers! MOCA showcases a wide range of contemporary artworks from local and international artists. You’ll find paintings, sculptures, mixed media pieces, and digital art that reflect modern themes; from personal identity and social issues to cultural heritage and abstract concepts. The museum is designed to make you think, feel and sometimes even interact with the art. Each room offers a different vibe and story, making the visit a truly inspiring journey through today’s artistic landscape.

Honestly, I wasn't expecting to encounter such a pretty museum here in Kuantan. Heck, I was throughly waiting to be disappointed at first, especially since I used to visit Muzium Negara over at Kuala Lumpur last year but surprisingly, this one stacked up pretty well, particularly with the incredible vibe that was offered in the middle building. Also enjoyed the amazingly crafted greenery there, and I was extremely taken aback (in a good way) upon visiting the library. The place was so comfortable that I don't feel like leaving at all. Thanks a lot for the amazing maintenance you guys had done. I think the cost of Rm10 per adult is clearly worth it.

I truly appreciate the warm hospitality from Mr Amirul and the older staff member who welcomed me so kindly. Their service was excellent. I arrived around 12 noon and was informed that the museum would be closing for a break from 1 to 2 pm, so I managed to explore one section out of three. After 3 pm I came back using the same ticket to visit the other 2 museums. During the break, I dropped by Luth Café next door for some tasty coffee and pie, then headed to the nearby mosque for Friday prayers, where they were also selling local snacks and handicrafts (do dress modestly.. no shorts or exposed shoulders). The museum itself is definitely worth a visit. I just wish there were more descriptions provided for the beautiful traditional clothing and contemporary art pieces. Kutubkhanah Diraja Pahang (The Royal Library) was closed on the Sunday I visited, so I didn’t get the chance to go inside. I really appreciate that they featured fashion designs and drawings by local children artists, especially those that highlight the beauty of Borneo. It’s rare to see these showcased, and I was glad to see artwork of Dayak and Kadazan being given space and recognition. If you're looking for a place with more historical artifacts, you might prefer the one in Pekan, Pahang. But for those wanting a stylish and Instagrammable experience, this spot is perfect for solo visitors, couples, or small families.

A lovely curated stop over in the city. Nearby to the state mosque and is refurbished with good ac and beautiful interior design. Pls do visit the 4 exhibits buildings..it will enrich your creative and educational knowledge

This used to be our old courthouse in the 1990's and now has been turned into a museum. Came here to walk down those old familiar corridors where I used to wait for my case to be called. Its a nicer and better place now, but the old memories still lives on

Fun activity to do with family and friends, have large parking area. Inside there are many souvenirs, clothes for men and women, baju kelawar too but note that they are overpriced. It is kind of dusty inside and warm too. For me the batik colouring is the main attraction located on the side of the building, an open air area equipped with fans but still hot, you can choose the size and design of batik canvas as low as RM15 then they will provide batik colouring. We spend almost 2 hours there, up to your colouring technique. I prefer to take time to mix the colours to get the shade that I want. There are also shirts colouring and other activities.

Natural Batik Village is a must-visit, especially if you have kids. For just RM15, the batik painting activity is totally worth it. My 6-year-old was able to spend hours painting, learning to be creative and mix colors. The staff are friendly and helpful, and parking is super easy. It's a great, hands-on activity that both you and your children will enjoy. Besides the painting, they also have a good variety of souvenirs like keychains and fridge magnets. You can also find some beautiful batik clothing, from elegant baju kebaya to comfy baju kelawar. Just a heads-up, the prices for these are a little on the expensive side. Oh, and they also sell coffee, which is a nice bonus!

A Cultural Gem in Kuantan – Hands-On Batik Experience at Natural Batik Village I visited Natural Batik Village located in Balok, Kuantan, Pahang, and it was a truly enriching and enjoyable experience! The location is spacious and wheelchair accessible, making it suitable for visitors of all ages and mobility levels. I had the chance to observe how Pahang-style batik (block printing) is traditionally made. The staff were friendly and welcoming — they explained the batik-making process in detail, which made the experience even more meaningful. After that, I explored the retail section where they sell a wide variety of batik fabrics, as well as batik clothing for men, women, and children, in many beautiful designs and patterns. Pahang batik has its own unique style, distinctly different from the batik found in Kelantan or Terengganu, which makes it special and worth discovering. One of the highlights was the DIY batik painting area outside, where visitors can colour their own batik block art and bring it home. This is a fun and creative activity, perfect for families or school groups. Overall, Natural Batik Village is a must-visit destination in Kuantan for anyone interested in Malaysian culture, traditional arts, or just looking for a meaningful souvenir.

We visited Natural Batik Village this morning. Unfortunately, no one greeted us or said welcome when we arrived, so it was quite confusing to figure out where to do the batik painting. We had to ask at the counter before anyone explained it to us. The staff didn’t seem friendly or welcoming, even those outside. There were no clear instructions, so the whole experience at the beginning felt awkward. That said, we still had fun doing the batik painting together; RM15 per adult. Overall, it was okay and we were happy in the end. But we really hope you’ll improve the system so customers don’t feel confused or unwelcomed.

the place is good however i think they can make more great designs on the painting activity. its mostly limited to kids kind of drawing (understand it actually a kids activity to do) but it also can be a cute adult couple activity! the staffs can be a bit friendlier please

Great place showcasing and selling a wide variety of batik products, although they are somewhat expensive (as batik usually are). They also have batik painting section where you can try painting your own piece of batik from a selection of premade designs.

Nice to be able to see how batik prints were made More of a retail shop than anything There an outdoor seating for you to paint yr own batik.

This place looks much better and more lively than it used to be back when I'd actively venture this far. Many street vendors lined the road, which is alright since they aren't obstructive to traffic. Plus, there's a new lookout tower here now that wasn't there the last time I visited, and the road are far better maintained than ever. Could've used more shelter for bystanders however, because customers can hang out longer in the area that way.

Clean beach, sandy white sand, suitable for kids to play water as it’s shallow beach

The beach is clean and lively even at night (weekends). The food stalls here are nicely decorated with a hipster vibe, so you can enjoy your food and drinks while listening to the calming sound of the gentle waves.

Pantai Kempadang is a truly calm and peaceful beach. The shore is noticeably clean, which is great.You can find several small restaurants and food/drink stalls along the road, offering good local options. Parking is easy, making the visit very convenient. Highly recommended for a relaxing time!

I like the ambiance among other beaches in Kuantan. It is serene and beautiful. My hideout place. You could picnic here too.

There was a kite festival when we visited, so there were many people over there. The beach is very long and clean. Public huts along the beach are free for use, first come first serve. There are also a surau, public toilet for bathing too. Great place for a family picnic and the kids can swim about as the water is shallow. The beach is quite flat. Anyway adults should be around to supervise. Sunrise is marvellous!

Nice and long beach.The water is not deep so suitable for kids .Many eatery and non food shops selling Bag,belt,purse, kids clothes is available here.Others attraction like horse riding,horse carriage,kite flying can be found here.This beach might not be popular like other but has lot of potential

A spacious and impressive mosque featuring excellent ventilation with large fans, ensuring a comfortable environment. The facilities are well-maintained, with numerous ablution stations and clean restrooms, providing convenience for worshippers. But the downside was the scenery not well used as tourists attractions

come here as a visitor. love the masjid. so nice, and calm. love the interior, the design inside. how the UIA logo was on top of the ceiling really amazing. small library is impressive. its huge! the woman section is nice too. got small rest area and water station

Solah Asar in The Masjid Sultan Ahmad Shah at the International Islamic University Malaysia (UIAM) Kuantan campus which has a capacity to accommodate approximately 3,000 worshippers. Slightly delay to join other worshippers (berjamaah) to multiple 27 darajat, however manage to follow behind one visitor remaining.

The best mosque 🕌, just finished our annual Masjid SHAS Islamic Festival (2025)!!

As a student in IIUM Kuantan campus, I always go to this mosque to pray. It was really conducive, spacious and a very nice place to do prayers and other activities. On Jumaat prayer, this mosque was always packed with people especially during term period. Another time when it was fully packed was during Ramadhan, where the committee members of the mosque planned many activities to celebrate the holy month. During Ramadhan also, they provide foods for iftar with limited pax, and foods for sahur were provided on the last 10 days of Ramadhan. On usual days, they also provide iftar for those who were doing the sunnah fasting on Monday and Thursday, also with limited pax. Many other activities were prepared by the committees, and the mosque didn't function as a place for praying only. I am grateful to be a student here. I hope that the other students can come to enrich this mosque while they were still studying in this campus.

Serene place of worship. Beautiful and clean

=)

School Holiday.. Loves the beach.. Clean although the water not so clear.. But much much cleaner compared to Port dickson beach.. The community often clean the beach.. And not crowded like P. Dickson.. Feel really relax here.. Often stayed at Swiss hotel but its on major renovation.. So Staying at Adena resort chalet ⭐⭐⭐.. Clean toilet 👍.. Food 👍.. Can fit 4 adults.. Affordable price.. We choose all kedai makan tepi laut.. Dinner at Pak Su seafood (halal), Kopi Mesin cafe.. Lunch at Pok Awang celup tepung 👍near nelayan boat, The Mint cafe (favourite cafe) dah tutup terus (buang masa tunggu 2 jam) 😤 so we went to De Rhu hotel while bring my 3 children to the hotel pool theme park (thumbs up to the life guard really good).. I give 4 stars for beserah beach coz there are not much of sea shells anymore 😢.. And pls up grade tourist area.. More clean local food, western food, theme cafe near the beach.. It will bring more tourists to come here trust me.. 😎🏖️

Pantai Beserah is a great spot for beach activities. If you're planning your itinerary and looking for more things to do with the kids, you should also include Natural Batik Village.It's a fantastic place to spend a few hours. For just RM15, the batik painting activity is totally worth it and is a great way for children to be creative.

It was such an urban beach and not much activity. Nice place to hang out just for the afternoon or evening.

The beach is stunning and so relaxing. My kids are having a wonderful time playing by the water.

Need more and better public infra. Such as quality public toilets for locals and tourists use. Shades and seats by the beach.

A very beautiful & clean beach. Suitable for family picnic outing

Beserah is an old-fashioned fishing village located about 8 kilometers north of Kuantan. The quaint little village has its very own charm and romance. It is a village that is famous for fresh fishes everyday! You can buy fresh fishes at wholesale prices here. A thriving fishing village, Beserah is well-known for its quality dried fish and other salted sea products. Visitors can buy salted fishes from here. You can also watch the process of belacan, keropok lekor & keropok leper making. There are many food stalls in the village. Visitors should try their famous Mee Chalong here.

When I visited Penyu Gergasi at Pantai Tanjung Pelindung in Kuantan, I was honestly stunned—it was so much bigger than I expected. The mural looks almost alive, blending so well with the rocks that for a moment you’d think a real giant turtle had washed up on the beach. It’s an incredible piece of art, and seeing it in person is way more impressive than in photos. The whole area has such a relaxing vibe. There are lots of rocks to climb onto where you can just sit, chill, and enjoy the sea breeze while listening to the sound of waves crashing in. The scenery is really beautiful, especially if you’re into photography—the mural itself is obviously a great backdrop, but the coastline and views around it make for stunning pictures too. What I liked most was the atmosphere. The sand here is fine and soft, the water looks clean, and the winds are cooling, so it feels like a perfect spot to just unwind for a while. There are also some small food stalls around, which adds to the experience—you can grab a snack or a drink and spend more time soaking in the surroundings. Overall, Penyu Gergasi isn’t just a mural—it’s a whole vibe. The combination of impressive art, natural scenery, and a chill seaside atmosphere makes it a great place to visit, whether you just want to relax, take photos, or enjoy a peaceful moment by the ocean.

The Giant Turtle at Pantai Pelindung is truly a breathtaking landmark! 🐢🌊 It beautifully represents the spirit of the beach and is a perfect spot for photos. The sculpture is massive, detailed, and very well crafted — a real attraction for both locals and tourists. The surrounding beach is calm and peaceful, making it a great place to relax, enjoy the sea breeze, and appreciate nature. This spot is not just about the giant turtle but also about the atmosphere — clean, refreshing, and welcoming. A must-visit if you’re in Kuantan. Perfect for families, friends, or anyone who loves the ocean and its majestic creatures. 🌴☀️📸

Nice wind up there, beaches and rocks with sea turtle painting artwork... Is beautiful and good for picnic places, bring your goods but there are no shower places and toilets ... Unless you have to walk a bit of distance to nearby park, then you can get toilet and café.

We reach around 5.25pm, no sunset today, but the sand when we walk in were very soft and thick, it was very difficult to walk on it. The beach was very wide with beautiful stones and waves ! The giant Stone turtle is very big ! You will enjoy walking along the beach and the fresh air here.

We came back to visit the giant turtle, after our exhillarating experience with the Baby Turtle Release program. And this time, we even went for a swim in the sea. I was so glad we did it, as it turned out to be very refreshing and cooling. The weather was also very kind to us today... The giant turtle is a natural rock formation, but the artist painted the face of the turtle on the rock, and voila!!!! Now we have a major tourist attraction!!!

Don't use the left to pantai lane as it will lead to wrong destination, should go left to the task direction and park at road side, else your vehicle will sink in sand area....the rubbish is along the beach, shame on people camping there and not clean up after use. No public facilities like toilets and also only few stalls sell drinks. Nothing much to see ...

Beautiful beach, and the turtle mural is really magnificently painted. Can take a lot of great photos here. Was very windy when we came so the walk is a breeze. Don’t come from main entrance as it will be quite a long walk, instead drive further to stop at the edge. Much much closer this way

Great foods stall with varieties of foods to chose from located strategically with ample parking areas

Good and tasty food. Went initially for their nasi kerabu but sadly it's only during the morning. Their menu dishes are still good and prices reasonably

Waiter for beverage and Nasi lemak was helpful but the food taste was average..we ordered fish & chips but got chicken chop instead and the waitress didn't even say sorry neither admit the mistake..

A big place but services a bit slow...waiter did not know own product...cleen but not so OKU friendly....

Food tasted bland. Can be improved. Love the environment

The best eatery in Kuantan. Dont miss it!

Foods are so-so but the price are expensive.

Great place for walking, jogging, picnics, and corporate events. An ideal wedding venue among greenery and nature. Open daily : 7.00 am - 7.00 pm

Place was nice, i went during aktiviti with jabatan alam sekitar 25th oct, the environemnt is welcoming unfortunately as every where when its a event some of the food are just overpriced and not even tasty... 10 piece of grape for rm 5, the drink mostly were good, the food was so and so.. i find food vendor always do this joining events, preparing food like they are just learning to cook...

Nice place for simple birding

It is a Botanical Garden, managed by Malaysian Agricultural Department Pahang Branch). It cover 104 hectar (approx. 257 acre). 27 species of Malaysian fruits was planted in plantation like practice. The fruits can be buy buy by visitor in the harvesting time. There are also agriculture market that held every Wednesday on 10 am - 2 pm. Have nice adventure!

We arrive at the agricultural park and were told this place is closed. What a shame we spent the time driving there.

We were here for course requirement visit. Staff is very helpful. Nice environment. Could be developed better👍👍

Very good hospitality and so much input gain during my trip there

50 sen to use toilet. Rm1 to shower

Beautiful beach with a nice view. many people were enjoying bubble toys and modern kites. The beach is clean and scenic. This photo was taken around 6 PM. Nearby, you’ll find McDonald’s, Starbucks, and KFC, making it a convenient spot for relaxing, family gatherings, and snapping some great photos.

A quiet beach with a peaceful vibe, but don’t expect too much. The area is still quite underdeveloped with minimal facilities. Some parts are clean, but there’s also visible litter in certain spots. Nice for a short stroll, sunset view or a picnic if you don’t mind the simplicity. Not really a swimming beach, more of a scenic chill spot. Could be a gem if properly maintained.

the beach was very well maintained. It was safe and clean to take a deep. But maybe I went on a random weekend, school and long holiday will be packed.

The most clean and beautiful beach that I've ever been. Everything just look so perfect and beautiful. The trail that lead to this beautiful sandy beach that were hidden away has a scenery that will take ur breath away

Nice beach with nice sand. Quite picturesque. However it can get crowded during weekends and public holidays. Spend time to take a walk, chill in Starbucks or McDonald’s. Next to Hyatt.

It's a little away from town center but very popular place in Kuantan. Beautiful white sandy beach. There is a parking lot. Mc Donald's, starbucks are area facing. There is a family mart nearby.

Tak perlu pergi jauh untuk menghayati view cantek, dalam malaysia ada banyak hidden germ yang boleh cari and duduk hayati. I suggest to drive and find it, like how I keep come back here. Drive from KL around 4 or 5 am and arrive just nice around before 9am for you tuk cari breakfast at PEKAN and then come here to admire the view and you will find peace all of the stress from big city.

The golden sand of the beach is great. Clean beach with calm water. Club Med is just beside.

We loved it here, didn’t regret coming, look at my videos! Visited on a Saturday after 5pm

Fun to explore the beach during low tide. Many marine life. Sad to see trash discarded at the beach intentionally. Parents should ensure no plastic toys left behind and discard the toy packaging in the bin. Some of the trash include plastic disposable cups and plastic spoons for ice-cream. Let's do our part to keep our beach clean. And also please leave the marine life alone. Do not tease them and throw them in the air.

Best clean stretch of Sandy beach to call your own.

We went on March, windy, clear blue sky and of course sunny beach. No rain during our visit, which was good, our girls and ourselves love it so much. I had a sunrise run along the beach. Nice and rejuvenating.

Lovely beaches, with beach bars and restaurants, turtle sanctuary, Hafizs Tours, just remember to take some cash with you as there is no ATMS, and only accept cash

Very long and nice beach. There are many resorts/villas/bungalows around. All the restaurants are near and all the shops are selling batik products. 😊 Don't miss out the Don't Tell Mama Ecobar😉

Good place but can be better. Built in 2 storey shop lot this 3d art gallery is no different with the others of its kind. The art is quite similar too anywhere else. But, with a few arts that shows the mines of Sungai Lembing is quite interesting. We got discount on the ticket - RM10.

Clean, calm, sceneric, peaceful ,historical place and enjoyable experience too!

Was a tin mining spot back during the British rule.

Entrance fee (15 March 2019) - Adult: RM16.00 - Child (height below 130cm): RM12.00 - Child 2 years old and below: Free Open 9 am to 6pm daily There are two 3D galleries in Sungai Lembing. The other one is "Old City 3D Trick Art Gallery" located along the main road about 80 metres south of the Country View Inn / food court.

The paintings is ok and lot of it available and up to you to take photo. The location is a little bit hidden and the parking is not that many. The disadvantage maybe on the fee itself. RM16 per adult is too much.

It really great here.. Eventhough it's not like an giant gallery emporium, you still can make a really good memories

Great place to take photo. You can spend your time there and think whatever creative poses you like with 3D paint.
