Balok Beach
Pantai Balok
A long sandy beach about 15 km north of Kuantan, known for its big waves. It is a kitesurfing and surfing spot on the East Coast, with several resorts along the shore.
Balok Beach stretches along the East Coast Road, with a wide sandy shore and few visitors. During the monsoon season the winds and waves are strong, drawing kitesurfers and surfers. In the dry season, it is ideal for strolling and watching the sunrise. A few resorts and beachside restaurants line the coast, making it an easy stop on the drive from Kuantan to Cherating. Be mindful of rip currents when swimming.
