Tanjung Keling
Tanjung Keling is about ten kilometers from Malacca. It has a stretch of white sandy beach set within a coconut palm grove. There are a number of things to do here. Among them are picnicking, swimming and canoeing. North of the beach is the Tanjong Keling Mosque, with its unique octagonal minaret and tiled steps. One kilometer away lies the grave of Hang Tuah, the legendary Malay warrior.

Tanjung Bidara
Tanjung Bidara, thirty-five kilometers from the town of Malacca, commands a magnificent sweep of coastline. The beach is ideal for swimming, water-skiing, and canoeing. Chalets and motels are available, and there are a number of cozy picnic spots.

Pantai Kundur
Pantai Kundur, a small fishing village, is approximately seventeen kilometers from Malacca. This beach is a favorite spot for swimming and picnicking, but it is perhaps best known for its graceful form of night-fishing. Fishermen suspend their nets from poles near their kelongs (houses built on stilts over the water) and periodically lower them to net a passing shoal.
