Even despite the fact that Malacca is a coastal province, its beaches and islands - not the best choice. So, if a beach vacation is, you are what you need and for what you have drove, you'd better drive to the east coast or in Langkawi.
If you are looking for a good beach, Tanjung Kling (Tanjung Kling) The closest to Malacca (approximately 12 kilometers from the center of Malacca). Although most people come here not for swimming, but to enjoy in one of the pleasant seafood restaurants in the open sky.
Look, for example, in BERT's Garden (2078-C, Jalan Kampung Pinang, Tanjung Kling) or "The Seafarer" (1516 Batang Tiga, Tanjung Kling) to try the fish on the grill and crabs, enjoying the sunset over the Malacca strait.
With the last restaurant, there is equipment rental for water sports, as well as you can help you organize an evening cruise there (to dine there, surrounded by luxurious species). On Tanjung Kling there is a couple of hotels, but nothing special: either very simple, or super-expensive.
The cleanest sandy beach - Pantai Puteri (Princess Beach) . Also, this is a popular place among the locals who come here to relax on the weekend.
Malaysians are usually swimming in shorts and a T-shirt, so if you come in bikini, you, of course, will not say anything, but we will look with disapproval.
Further, Pulau Malaka (Pulau Melaka) - Artificial island near the coast of Malacca, which is sisit of chic villas and houses.
And on it there is a majestic mosque Semel Mosque (Malacca Straits Mosque). Visitors can go inside the mosque to assess internally decoration (or sea views) - visitors in shorts will be given long scarf skirts. Islands beaches perfectly suitable for swimming and sunbathing. The island is 300 meters from Sushi and is connected by the bridge. Is the island right next to the shore of the central part of the city.
Island name Pulau Besar (Pulau Besar) Means the "Great Island".
This is at the same time a beautiful and mysterious place, around which legends associated with dead Indian princesses and Muslim saints (interpretation of legends depends on the religion of one who tells you). Local residents consider the island that the island of the sacred and inhabit His holy spirits and ghosts. Perhaps that is why recreational facilities built on the island - hotel, golf course, pools are not particularly preferred by tourists. But maybe not there, we do not know. The island is 4 km from the coast and 15 km from the center of Malacca to the east.
But the place is actually beautiful! Types there are just surreal - wonderful beaches with white sand, almost deserted. On the beach, rather, there may be a giant varan, than another tourist.
While many hotels advertise tourists Pulau Bespear as a place for sunbathing and bathing, most people sail on the island to visit his graves and shrines. By the way, tourists are asked to dress more compromised (even for swimming) and not bring with them to the island alcohol.
To learn a little more about the history of the island, go to the Museum Pulau Besar (Pulau Besar Museum), which is located near the pier (a ticket costs somewhere five rings for adults and three ringgit for children). The museum is usually working from 09: 00 to 17:00 every day (but do not be surprised if the museum is simply closed).
On the island you can spend the night in a tent (if any), or in a wooden chalet in D'Puteri Kurnia Resort (former Chandek Kura Resort). Most of those who come to the island "longer," bring their own stocks of food and drinks, but with drinking water there will definitely not be problems (although this water is better to boil first). Well, there are freebies with food.
D'Puteri Kurnia Resort is the only place to relax on Pulau Besar. It looks good outside, with a renovated pool and 66 wooden chalets (wooden houses) scattered in the mountain. The air-conditioned houses and the bathroom, but consider the fact that most of the guests are the island - religious pilgrims and expect any luxury. The staff is quite friendly - they will help you rent a motorcycle. The complex has a restaurant, but it also opens on request, so, look for food in the nearest shops. The hotel can be reached on vans waiting for guests on the pier - they will take you for a couple of ringgits. The double chalet is about 140-200 ringgit (more expensive on weekends).
These are the beaches and islands in and near Malacca! Pleasant rest!
