Balok Beach

More people appeared as the morning progressed. We waited until the waves came in to about two feet from where we were seated before getting up for a walk. Along the beach we found a wooden shack where we breakfasted on pre-packed nasi lemak. Salted fish is a part of their nasi-lemak. It tasted ... for want of a better word .... weird.

There wasn't much to do after breakfast and sand flies were becoming a nuisance so we checked out. The plan was to take a leisurely drive home. Someone recommended the Natural Batik Village so that became part of the plan.

On the way to the Natural Batik Village, *WAZE took us to Balok Beach. We drove past Kuantan Port and the Lynas processing plant in Gebeng.

Balok Beach is beautiful and pristine. Not many holiday resorts were dotted along this stretch.

* WAZE is an android apps for navigation.


The tire marks on the sand tells me this must be the favorite local haunt. Perhaps it is even the favorite spot where couples park. It is quiet enough.


The picture below looked like a sleeping giant. I'll bet there's a local legend somewhere in these parts to tell us how the sleeping giant got here.
