"Dance with the waves, move with the sea. Let the rythm of the water set your soul free..." - Christy A Martine
Pantai Morib is one of the nearest beaches to Kuala Lumpur. It is a quiet
seaside tourist attraction, an ideal spot for city dwellers in search of a
quick weekend getaway by the sea. Pantai Morib has a shoreline spanning
approximately 3 km, shaded by whispering Casuarinas and swaying palms.
Part of the beachfront has been converted into a seaside
promenade and recreational park, but there are still stretches of sandy beach
towards the northern end that extend into the ocean during low tide.
The beachside park here is spacious and equipped with basic
facilities, including gazebos and pavilions, playgrounds, multi-purpose stages
and food stalls.

Normal time, Pantai Morib attracts visitors on weekends,
festive seasons and public holidays. During the Covid 19 pandemic there
were only a handful of visitors on the beach. Even the stalls at the foodcourt
were closed.
A WW2 memorial in Pantai Morib commemorates the landing of
the Indian army here on September 1945 as part of Operation Tiderace, involving
the liberation of Malaya from the Japanese army. One of the soldiers to land
here was Muhammad Zia-ul-haq, who eventually became the 6th president of
Pakistan.
