Beach life in Malacca
Malacca’s beaches are havens of adventure and convenience. Not only can you indulge in swimming at beaches such as Pengkalan Balak, Pantai Klebang, and Tanjung Bidara, but you’ll also find stalls selling yummy local fare. Pantai Klebang, in particular, is a local favorite. You’ll find plenty of stalls selling kites and equipment to design your own sandcastles, so bring your kids along! On the other hand, Tanjung Bidara is where you should go to stray far from the madding crowd.
The best time to visit the state is between April to May and October to November, when you’ll find that the climate is drier, making for comfortable sightseeing weather.
