Pantai Cahaya Bulan (GPS: 6.19623, 102.27364) is the main beach in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. It is a wide expense of sand facing the South China Sea.
The name Pantai Cahaya Bulan means "moonlight beach". It was originally called Pantai Cinta Berahi, or "Beach of Lustful (some translate that as passionate) Love". Unfortunately, the original, colourful name was deem an assault to the sensibility of the locals, and so it was given a new name that is less suggestive.
The beach was constantly eroded by the surf. To prevent further erosion, rocks are placed along the shore to act as wave breakers. Further inland are beach stalls selling food and refreshments.
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
