Tanjung Bidara

Tanjung Bidara commands a magnificent sweep of the state's coastline, and its beach is very popular among locals as well as foreigners. Located approximately 20 km from Malacca Town, the beach is quiet and well away from the main road with lush vegetation and a tranquil atmosphere. The beach is more for relaxation or recreational activities that exclude swimming, as the waters are a little murky.

Getting there:

Express buses and taxis plying the Kuala Lumpur-Malacca route may be boarded at the Puduraya Terminal in Kuala Lumpur.

It takes approximately 1 1/2 hours to reach Malacca town from Kuala Lumpur and 2 1/2 hours from Singapore.
