Pantai Malindo (GPS: 5.33779, 100.19443), or Malindo Beach, is a beach in Balik Pulau. It is not known how this beach got its name, but the name has been accepted by the goverment. Perhaps it was so named because it's the spot where one can view from Malaysia towards Indonesia - thus my hypothesis. Pantai Malindo is the stretch of the west coast to the south of Kuala Sungai Burong. The view here is very nice, as you can see Pulau Betong in the horizon.
Pantai Malindo attracts bikers and photography enthusiasts who come here to enjoy the scenery. There are biking trails to go all the way to the breakers at the mouth of Sungai Burong.
I visited Pantai Malindo with my wife on 24 May, 2015. We arrived that around 3 o'clock in the afternoon. It was a fine day. At that time, it was low tide, but the tide was coming in. We could actually feel the sea water rushing inland. It came in successive waves which crash on the rocks in a loud noise. It did cross our minds, what the tsunami something like this? What we saw was just a natural tide, but I suppose the tsunami would not be too different, except on a much larger scale.

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.
