Tanjung Bidara

Tanjung Bidara, 35 km north of Malacca town, is one of Malacca's popular beach resorts. A beach with swaying casuarinas and fine white sand, its cove is perfectly suited for swimming and a host of water sports. There are also numerous shade trees for cosy picnics. Add to these attractions, the journey through Malacca's scenic countryside of swaying padi fields and Malay kampung houses and Tanjung Bidara is a serene hideaway worth visiting.

Those wishing to stay longer will find nearby chalets and motel rooms at Tanjung Bidara Resort, where tennis courts, game rooms and facilities for canoeing, water-skiing and jet-skiing are available.
