Balok Beach

Another welcome haven in Pahang is Balok Beach. Approximately 15 kilometres north of Kuantan, its seemingly unending stretch of white sand, swaying casuarinas and tropical breezes make it the ideal location for camping, sunbathing and swimming.

Those in search of something less sedate, can try out the sport facilities around the Coral Beach Resort. You can paddle out from the beach, unfurl a sail and get ready for the roller-coaster ride of your life; as Balok Beach is reputed to be one of the ten best wind surfing spots in the world.

You can catch a taxi either at the Kuantan Airport or in town to reach Balok.
