At
longitude N 030 42' 02. 0" and latitude E 103o 20'
16. 0" is Pantai Sepat near the village of Tanjung
Sepat, about 10 km from Kuantan. It is located on
the Tanjung Lumpur / Cheruk Paloh road from
Kuantan towards the royal town of
Pahang, Pekan.
Pantai Sepat is still pristine in the sense that
it is not that well-known among people outside the
area. Most visitors to the place are either locals
or day trippers from Kuantan. The long stretch of
beach is an exhilarating vista to behold on a
clear day. Different
from the other beaches that may look 'tame' at its
edges but drop steeply into deep trenches just
metres from the shoreline, Pantai Sepat has a
gradual incline. This makes it safe for children and non-swimmers to wade
in. However, given the unpredictable nature of
the sea, it is wise to take extra caution.

Pantai Sepat is quiet and peaceful, which makes
it just the location for a great picnic and rest.
The beach may look rather unkempt with
detritus washed ashore, but such is
nature. So long as the place is not being run down
by indiscriminate dumping of garbage and heaps of
non-biodegradable stuff, Pantai Sepat is destined
to become another great lure for Pahang beach
fanatics. Before reaching Pantai Sepat you will first reach
Kampung Peramu, and further on, Kampung Kempadang.
Upon reaching the junction that forks out to Pantai Sepat
(indicated by road road signs), take a left and
keep straight on to the beach itself. |
