Kuala Lumpur vacation at the sea. Masjid Negara National Mosque. Districts of Kuala Lumpur, interesting for tourists
Locals call the capital of Malaysia by another name, Key-El. The city itself is located on a peninsula called Malacca. It is located in the place where the two rivers Gombak and Klang join. There are no beaches in the capital itself, but from here you can easily get to the main beaches, which are in great demand among vacationers. From Kuala Lumpur, getting to the same Penang or Langkawi is not so easy, because you need to spend quite a lot of time and money. Choosing Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia as a tour for a beach holiday is not suitable. People come to this city in order to get to know the history, architecture and traditions better.
The beaches of Langkawi
One of the best places to go for vacationers in search of a quality beach holiday. From this place it is easy to go to Cenang Beach, where the infrastructure is very well developed and there are excellent landscapes. It takes 10-15 minutes to get from the mono airport. The beach called Tengah is very popular, where there is always clear water and a calm sea. Especially in demand among romantic couples and those looking for a place to hide the beach, which is located near the airport. On the beach, real life begins at night, and during the day it is very calm here.
Beach in Penang
These beaches are famous for a large number of attractions. Here you can find a lot of luxury hotels, a beautiful coastline where you can wander forever. Often vacationers are offered horseback riding for a fee. On this island, the most popular beaches are Teluk Bahang, which are located on the outskirts of the island in the western part, Tanjung Bungah, which is famous for its large number of reefs and vegetation, as well as Telun Bahang, where you can find several secluded bays. It is best not to visit these beaches in the month of January.
Port Dickson Beach
Another good option for tourists is the beach, which is located in the area of the port of Dixon. Comfort here is minimal, the water is not very clean, because there is an oil refinery very close by. Swimming here is neither pleasant nor safe at the same time. On the opposite coast are the islands of Pankor and Kuatan, where the conditions for recreation are considered more favorable than here. There are no large number of normal beaches near the capital of Malaysia and the water here is not the same, for which it is worth going here if the purpose of the trip is a beach holiday. There are places where the water will be clean, but they are very few. That is why there is never a large number of tourists who will come to sunbathe and swim.
Beach on Redang Island
Anyone who claims that there are few islands in Malaysia simply did not open the map of the country and did not study it more closely. In addition to the well-known Langkawi, Perhentiana, Tioman, Penang and Labuan (the last two have nothing to do with a beach holiday), there are dozens of chic islands in Malaysia. In this country there is where to spend a wonderful weekend.

Beach holidays exist in Malaysia! And believe me, let's start the list with the most popular islands of Malaysia, ending with the less recognizable, but no less beautiful. Redang is the best island for a beach holiday, snorkeling and diving.

The Johor Islands (departure from the town of Mersing) is a real find to experience a beach holiday in Malaysia. The main thing is to have enough money, a supply of free time and a great desire. The most popular of them is Tioman, which we liked even more than Perhentians.

Malaysia: beach holidays in Kuala Lumpur
A young and modern city - the capital of the country, Kuala Lumpur - offers travelers to get acquainted with numerous sights, and after excursions, relax on one of the beaches located nearby.
The closest to the city, and therefore the most visited of them - "Port Dickson". It is located 30 km from the capital. The beach is well equipped: there is everything you need for relaxation - sun loungers, umbrellas, it is possible to rent equipment for water sports.
If tourists agree to spend about an hour on the road to the coast, they can go to Pankgor Island, which is located north of Kuala Lumpur. Here is one of the best beaches in the country.

Malaysia in January
A beach holiday in Malaysia in January has its own characteristics. The air temperature here is still quite comfortable (+28 ... +33 ° C). But there is one inconvenience - very high humidity.
Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, has the name "K-L" among the inhabitants. The city is located on the Malay Peninsula, at the confluence of the Klang and Gombak rivers. There are no beaches in Kuala Lumpur. But you can get to Langkawi or Penang. It will take a long time to get there, and this is a costly business. But the appearance of the local attractions can be admired enough.
Beaches in Langkawi
The best sea is located in Langkawi. Once here, you can go to Cenang Beach with a fairly developed infrastructure and very pretty landscapes. In addition, you can get to it from the airport in just 10 minutes. Tengah beach looks no less beautiful. The sea here is calm and clean. Those seeking solitude and peace, especially during the day, are advised to visit the beach near the airport. Life on it begins only closer to the night, and mostly local residents come here.
Beaches in Penang
Penang is famous for its attractions. Among the beaches, Ferringhi Beach in Bath can be distinguished. You can stay in local luxury hotels, wander along the golden sand of the coast or take a horseback ride.
The most popular and best beaches of the island can be considered:
- Teluk Bahang (located on the outskirts of the island from the west);
- Tanjung Bungah is famous for its reefs and vegetation;
- Telun Bahang, where there are several secluded coves.
The season on local beaches begins in January.
Beach near the port of Dixon
As an option, you can go to the port of Dikson. There is no special comfort here, the water is cloudy and in general it is not very safe to swim here (a large oil refinery is located nearby). On the other side are the islands of Pankor and Kuantan, with more or less equipped beaches. You can look at Genting and Fraser Hill and cool off in the local waters.
Unfortunately, Kuala Lumpur cannot boast of a large number of beaches near the city. The purity of water can also be judged in two ways. On the one hand, most of the coastal waters are very muddy. Perhaps this fact makes the beaches along the coast of the city so unpopular. For example, there are almost no people on the beach in the vicinity of the port of Dixon and nearby hotels. On the other hand, there are also areas of the sea with fairly clear water, only the depth in such areas is small.
Beaches on Redang Island
The best place to visit is Redang Island. The beaches here are very beautiful, with white sand and sky blue water. No less impressive is the local exotic flora. For such beauty, Redang is not in vain received the title of one of the most beautiful marine parks in Malaysia. The rich water world in these places opens up great opportunities for diving.
Thus, the best sandy beaches of Kuala Lumpur are concentrated on the nearby islands. Of course, for those who have visited the city, this location seems very inconvenient, but for the purity of the water and the beauty of the surrounding vegetation, you can safely put the highest score.
