Enjoying the breeze at Pantai Morib...

 "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.
