Bukit Keluang - Kuala Besut - Part 2

The Beach



road to Parking Lots of the beach

The beach of Bukit Keluang is beautiful.





small estuary of the stream facing South China Sea

Unfortunately, swimming is not allowed here due to strong wave and dangerous underwater whirlpool. So far, the beach has recorded numerous of loss of lives of visitors. To avoid any disaster or loss of lives again, the government has constructed a watch tower and placed coast guards there. Any potential act of visitors seem inviting danger will be warned immediately with a siren and follow up with loudspeaker.

Another potential danger to the visitors is the wooden bridge constructed and attached to the hill facing the open sea. The bridge is beautiful, but some part of the floor had broken, leaving holes which were dangerously concealed danger to the public. One pole/pillar of the bridge leading to the highest point of the bridge was missing making the steps are very dangerous to climb. Still, there was no warning or cautions placed by the responsible authority at the bridge, or at least a blocking woods to stop visitors from climbing up to the top of the bridge. I think they should have engaged an expert to advise them about how to construct a stronger and safer bridge to enable it to face the strong waves of the open sea.

There are some caves beside the bridge which could be used as a shelter for cave camping activity. The  is a small clean beach under the bridge leading straight away to the cave mouth.

The beach also has recreational park.

There are hawkers selling local refreshments for visitors.





And stairways for jungle trekkers too.


a stairway to heaven?

Oh, I wish to come here again and stay overnights at Bukit Keluang Beach Resort, so that I can enjoy jungle trekking and canoeing activities here.......
