Introduction
As one of the nearest beaches to Kuala Lumpur, Morib Beach is a popular recreational spot surrounded by whispering Casuarinas and swaying palms.
What to Expect?
Morib Beach has a shoreline spanning approximately 3 km, shaded by whispering Casuarinas and swaying palms.
At low tide, the shore stretches far into the Straits of Malacca. Visitors can watch small crabs that scuttle away and disappear into the sand.
During low tide visitors can walk 1km to 2km towards the sea. Make sure you bring a cap and sun glasses as the weather is usually hot and humid in the afternoon.
During high tide, the beach becomes an ideal place to dip into the sea water to cool the day off. Children can enjoy themselves by the shore but do watch out for the tide and waves.
This is also a good spot for picnic. Bring your own food and have picnic under the casuarina trees. There are benches and tables that you can use.
Alternatively, you may buy local food fromt one of the many stalls here. Most of the stalls are opened through the evening, during the peak season when it is a public holiday.
Dataran Pantai Morib
Part of the beachfront has been converted into a seaside promenade and recreational park, but there are still stretches of sandy beach towards the northern end that extend into the ocean during low tide.
The beachside park here is spacious and equipped with basic facilities, including gazebos and pavilions, playgrounds, gasing (traditional tops) spinning arenas, multi-purpose stages and food stalls.
Popular activities include beach football and volleyball, kite-flying as well as golf at the seaside Sri Morib Golf Club.
Lovers of history will also discover that Morib contains a wealth of historical sites such as ruins of old government buildings, royal graves and an abandoned palace.
You will notice that there is a small monument built to commemorate the landing of a company of Indians on 9th September 1945. They were from the 46th Battalion of the British Marine chosen to defend the place from the Japanese Army during World War II.
As one of the nearest beaches to Kuala Lumpur, Pantai Morib or Morib Beach is an ideal spot for city dwellers in search of a quick weekend getaway by the sea.

5 months agoThe beach is not suitable for swim, it's best for weekend escape. You can camp but beware of stray dogs. This place was full of it even daytime.
