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 that leads also to 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, sun, sea and sky is an exhilarating vista
to behold on a perfect 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 on most
occasions for children and non-swimmers to wade
in. However, given the unpredictable nature of the
sea, it is be wise to take extra caution,
nevertheless.
The ambiance
at Pantai Sepat is quiet and peaceful, which makes
it just the location for a great picnic and rest.
At times the beach may look rather unkempt with
detritus washed ashore by waves, 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. |
