Jambu Bongkok Beach

The picturesque Kampung beach exudes tranquility and is a perfect spot to capture stunning Instagram-worthy photos. The serene ambiance is enhanced by the absence of any other visitors during our visit.

The beach is a serene haven nestled within a quaint village, offering a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of tourist hotspots. Despite its lack of popularity among visitors, the picturesque scenery exudes a sense of peacefulness that is simply mesmerizing.

As an educator at a nearby school, I frequently traverse the sandy shores of the beach as it happens to be the residence of some of my students. Along the way, I am enamored by the array of local delicacies being sold, from the savory meatballs to the crispy battered snacks and the flavorful Terengganu-style laksa. It's a delightful experience that never fails to satisfy my appetite and soothe my soul.

The beach area on the east coast of Terengganu is a sight to behold, with towering coconut trees that encircle the nearby villages. However, my rating of this picturesque location is a mere 3 stars. The reason for this is the presence of litter scattered throughout the beach area. It is essential for the local authorities to educate the people and install 'No litter' sign boards to keep the area clean. Despite this, I still managed to find pleasure in capturing the beauty of this beach through my camera lens.

I can never tire of the stunning scenery at this beach! After parking my car on a nearby road, I enjoyed the peaceful walk and soaked up the atmosphere. The locals were incredibly friendly, always sporting a warm smile. If given the opportunity to reside in a village for the remainder of my days, this would be my top pick!
