Driving back from Kuantan Port we decided to stop off at Batu Hitam (Black Stone Beach) in the Balok area of Kuantan. It is about a 15-20 minute drive from Kuantan town and is located along the coastline a short distance before Swiss Garden Resort & Spa (travelling from Kuantan town).
Batu Hitam is famous for the numerous black rocks strewn across the sand. It's great for a visit, and of course, for me, it's a great photography opportunity too! Obviously, it's best to go when the tide is out.

Those formations are so lovely (they remind me a little of places at home in Hawaii:) - and it looks like the girls and all entire family enjoyed a grand day out!

ReplyDeleteCame here for a family trip a lifetime ago. But we didn't actually go down to the beach and I remember being so disappointed (as a kid) at not being able to do so. Now I get to see it through your pictures. Found your listing on expat-blog and thought I would stop by to say hello. Great stuff! Thank you.
