Batu Hitam Beach
Pantai Batu Hitam
A beach on the northern outskirts of Kuantan, named after its black rocks. Snack stalls and grilled corn line the sand, and it is a favourite with locals for weekend picnics and sea-watching.
Batu Hitam Beach lies about 8 km north of Kuala Terengganu. Black volcanic rocks dot the sand, and by the sea there is a row of casuarina trees and picnic areas. In the evenings, stalls sell grilled corn, coconut water and Malay snacks. The currents here are strong, so swimming is not recommended. Walking, flying kites and sea-watching are the main activities. The beach is very close to the airport and the East Coast Road, making it convenient to reach by car.
