Located in Tanjung Kling, Pantai Puteri (Princess Beach) is one of Melaka’s most popular coastal destinations, offering a tranquil escape approximately 15 kilometers from the bustling city center. Known for its serene atmosphere and beautiful scenery, it is a favourite spot for both locals and tourists seeking a relaxed day by the sea.
The long, tree-lined beach provides ample shade for visitors to enjoy picnics and family gatherings, making it an ideal family-friendly destination. While the waters of the Malacca Strait are not always clear for swimming, the gentle waves and cool sea breeze make it perfect for leisurely strolls, flying kites, or engaging in light beach games.
Pantai Puteri is perhaps most famous for its stunning sunset views. As the day draws to a close, the sky transforms into a dramatic canvas of orange and gold, drawing crowds of photographers and romantics. The area around the beach is well-equipped with amenities, including food stalls and restaurants, where visitors can savour fresh seafood and local delicacies.
The beach also serves as an active fishing spot and, on some weekends, hosts a vibrant night market, further cementing its role as a laid-back, community-focused coastal haven in Melaka.
