Morib Beach (GPS: 2.74853, 101.44325) is a popular seaside area in Selangor. It is located near Simpang Morib, about 12 km south of Banting. The locals come here for picnicking under the casuarina trees. There is a park by the beach with a memorial to the landing of the British and Indian Liberation Army on 9 September 1945.

Over the decades, the beachfront at Morib Beach has been developed for beach recreation. The promenade is clean and well paved. A prominent feature of the promenade is the sculpture of seagulls - I noticed one of them has dropped off.

The sea at Morib Beach is very shallow, so it is possible to wade into the sea for quite a distance, particularly during low tide. When I was at Morib Beach, I saw a large number of people walking in the sea. The fact that they are unafraid of the tide coming in tells me that they probably have a good idea the depth of the sea at Morib. It was a hot day when I visited, so the ice cream hawkers were doing good business.

Elsewhere, we saw a Seashell Square, where there are interpretive boards explaining various types of seashells. On the day of our visit, Morib Beach was quite crowded, with different people doing their own thing. The toilets are well maintain here. They are housed is two adjacent buildings flanking the walkway (which by the way, is called Persiaran Jugra). Yes, you have to pay to use the facilities, but they have bathrooms with showers for swimmers to clean up.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
