Pantai Redang is a hidden beach in Sekinchan located near the seafood restaurants area at Bagan. When we reach the beach area we noticed a large tree decorated with red ribbons. It is a wishing tree located next to a small Chinese temple. According to the locals, anyone who has a wish can come here to pray and write out their wishes on a piece of red ribbon. They can either tie the red ribbons on the lower branches or throw it up into the tree and hope it to get hooked to one of the higher branches. It is believed that the higher your ribbons are tied on the tree, the higher probability that your wishes will come true.

There are a few interesting colorful tree huts with swings and hammock for relaxing but they are a bit worn down and need repair. If the weather is not that hot, one can take a stroll on unbeaten track along the coastal line, you may find a nice and secluded spot for bird watching. The beach is full of hermit crabs and also a good hunting ground for mussels of reasonable size.

The beach is clean and not that crowded. There is a nice jetty overlooking the Bagan, a fishing village which can be very busy during unloading of the catch from the fishing boats. On a cool day, one can sit on the rocks, enjoy the breeze and take in the wonderful sea views. Pantai Redang has a beautiful while sand beach but the sea water is murky and muddy and it is not suitable to swim.
