Morib
For those seeking hours of serenity away from the hustle
and bustle of Peninsular Malaysia's more popular west coast resorts,
Morib is just the beach. Situated at the southern end of Selangor, approximately
1 1/2 hour's drive from Kuala Lumpur, it is the perfect place for those
in search of solitude and relaxation.
Surrounded by whispering casuarinas and swaying palms,
you can comb the beaches of Morib at ebb tide, searching for seashells
or watch small crabs scuttle away and disappear into the sand. You can
even spread out a mat and settle down to a picnic lunch beside a shady
casuarina grove.
Lovers of history will also discover that Morib contains
a wealth of historical sites. There are the ruins of old government
buildings and the royal graves at Jugra, including an abandoned palace
from the 1800's. Allied Forces also landed on this stretch of beach
in September 1945, marking the end of the Japanese Army's occupation
of Malaya. Those wishing to linger awhile in Morib, can stay at Hotel
Sri Morib.
How To Get There
Morib is accessible from Kuala Lumpur by the Federal Highway or the
North Klang Valley Expressway via Klang. From Klang, proceed to Banting
before reaching Morib. To reach Morib by bus, you should board a Kuala
Lumpur - Banting bus from the Klang Bus Station in Kuala Lumpur. From
Banting, take another bus or taxi plying the Morib route.
