Pelindung Pantai (Pelindung Beach)

Pelindung Pantai

We are so lucky in Kuantan to have long stretches of beach. We had a picnic with some friends at Pelindung Pantai the other week, which is 1-2km further up the coast from Teluk Chempedak.

We entered off Jalan Beserah and drove a zigzag route through Pelindung Maju until after 5 minutes or so we reached the beach. Lovely smooth sands with a sprinkling of small seashells, Pelindung Pantai sees fishermen going out to sea in their boats early in the morning.

Bukit Pelindung Housing Estate

Bukit Pelindung Housing Estate is an area of Kuantan located close to Teluk Chempedak beach. 

Welcome to the home of the rich and famous. Well, maybe not quite, but you get what I mean.

High up on a hill, safe from the annual flooding of the monsoon season, Bukit Pelindung contains a large array of custom-made homes, of various shapes and sizes. The house above is still in the construction phase, but the enormous pillars already give it its distinctive mark.

Bukit Pelindung is like a town within a town in Kuantan . . .
