Under the management of Kem Bina Negara (Government training centre for personal
development), the secluded & unspoilt beach is an ideal place for picnickers and
anglers.
Jungle trekking remains one of the favorite way to get to the beach. There are
many well-trodden paths leading off to the coast (favorite place for fishing) as well
as some winding hills that lead all the way to the beach. Your trails will start at
Gertak Sanggul Village, which also has its own attractive setting of a sandy beach
with swaying palm trees. This village final stopping point for buses coming down from
Georgetown.
The jungle trail to Pasir Panjang is isolated and beautiful, offering wide range of
spectacular views and seascapes. It has gentle gradients and ambles through the
orchards and rubber estates which border the coastline. There is an uninterrupted
view of the Straits of Malacca to the left and accompaniment by the chirping of
birds along many stretches.
Walking non stop for about 1 hour, you should be able to see a junction that will
lead you to a jeep trail. The jeep trail will brings you all the way to Pasir Panjang
beach. Total distance from Gertak Sanggul Village to Pasir Panjang is about 6.1 km,
a 2 hours journey. One hour if you are a fast & experience jungle explorer.
During trekking, you might encounter some trail confusion caused by dotted hut &
sheds belonging to owners of orchards and rubber estates. But if you just follow the
trail closest to the coastline, you should be able to find your way to the beach.
Pasir Panjang beach is beautiful and many picnickers come here to swim at the
pristine blue sea, to relaks along the white sandy beaches & to rejuvenate. After
you have rested and enjoyed the scenery, there is a choice of either returning the
same way or continuing on to Pulau Betong village. This takes about half an hour of
leisurely walking along the beach and on the tarmac road.
Whatever it is, the choice is yours.
Enjoy and have fun!
