Morib Beach Malaysia
- 3 years ago
Morib Beach Malaysia. It’s around 75 kms from downtown Kuala Lumpur.
Morib Beach (or Pantai Morib) is one of the closest beaches to Kuala Lumpur and for that reason can get busy with day-trippers during weekends and public holidays.
Seaside area with a coastal promenade, shade trees & picnic pavilions, plus toilet facilities.
When the tide is high there is no beach to speak of and the waves lap up against the promenade wall.
Many visitors to Morib only see the promenade section and miss entirely this much better stretch of sandy beach just around 500 m before the main beach.
Efforts have been made in recent years to provide more facilities at the beach and to beautify the surroundings with some hard landscaping.
This beach was one of the sites chosen by the allies to land an invasion force at the end of WWII as part of Operation Zipper and this memorial marks the spot. The objective was to retake Malaya from the Japanese. Japan surrendered days before the invasion force arrived
How to get to Morib beach: Morib beach is around 75 kms from Kuala Lumpur Bus station. You need to look for Banting and from Banting you will see sign boards for Morib Beach.
There is a food court clean pay-to-use toilets and showers, a kiddies playground, prayer-rooms, information centre, a seashell display, a beach football pitch and a kite flying field. Kites can be purchased and roller blades are available for rent (RM 10 unlimited).
New picnic gazebos and a lookout tower have been added, the pathways have been relaid and the sea wall has been repaired.
There are usually a few monkeys hanging around in the casuarina trees, hoping to share some of your food. There are plenty of car park slots so not to worry and also there are places for motorbike riders too.
Accommodation: There are some hotels in the Morib area including Hotel Impian Morib and Gold Coast Morib. Sri Morib Golf Club (1 course 18 holes) lies adjacent to the beach.
