Located about 12km north of Mersing, this beach is popular among picnickers especially on weekends and public holidays. They can swim in its blue water, play games on its wide beach or just sit back and relax under the shade of trees that line the beach. From here, when the weather is beautiful, one can see the faint bluish silhouette of Pulau Besar, Pulau Rawa, Pulau Tioman and Pulau Tengah, as well as smaller islands nearby such as Pulau Batu Gajah and Pulau Setingan. .
The long stretch of beach is the venue for the annual Pesta Air Papan (Air Papan Festival) held every May 1. There are plenty of restaurants, shops and stalls, as well as a number of resorts with traditional Malay wooden architecture, some of which have been operational for more than 20 years..
From Mersing, take the coastal road north towards Kuantan. Air Papan is only about 10 minute's drive from Mersing.
