This delightful beach is only 5 km from Kuantan. Two world-class hotels are located here. Teluk Cempedak (a.k.a. T.C.) is an excellent beach for sailing, surfing, jet-skiing and sunbathing. Souvenir and handicraft shops are all within walking distance. Beyond the main beach, there are excluded bathing spots. Ardent sun-lovers can jungle-trek through the T.C. Forest Reserve into idyllic Pelindung beach. An alternative route will lead you to the Teruntum Park which has a mini zoo-children and adults alike will have fun and relaxation. Close by is the Royal Golf Club for golf enthusiasts.
