Morib Day Out 5 Nov 2010

Morib Beach is one of the closest beaches to Kuala Lumpur and for that reason can get busy with day-trippers during weekends and public holidays.

Our small little family had decided to pay it a visit. To be honest it is not a very attractive beach.

The sea is generally a grubby brown or grey colour and not particularly inviting although a few brave people venture in.

We were pretty amazed of the new facilities which have been added at the beach and to beautify the surroundings with some hard landscaping. It looks new!

There is a food court (ikan bakar and sotong specialities), clean pay-to-use toilets and showers, a kiddies playground, prayer-rooms, information centre, a seashell display, a beach football pitch and a kite flying field. Kites can be purchased and roller blades are available from the nearby stalls.

Both Issac and Annabelle were so happy playing with their bubble gun and blow the bubble which Daddy bought for them.

We did not play the kite, but we saw some children were playing the kites and the kites were flying so high! The sea breeze was so relaxing!

New picnic gazebos and a lookout tower have been added, the pathways have been relaid and the sea wall has been repaired.

We just picked one of the gazebos and let the children played the bubbles.

The kids really do like and enjoying playing the bubble gun. The weather was really hot!

We walked towards the sea and saw the grubby brown sea.

When the tide is high there is no beach to speak of and the waves lap up against the promenade wall. When the tide is low, the sand is a bit slimy and still, the crabs seem to like it.

Seagull sculptures give a nice, relaxed seaside feel to the place. A pavement compass helps visitors get their bearings.

There are usually a few monkeys hanging around in the casuarina trees, hoping to share some of your food.

Overall it was a free and easy day out for us at Morib. We just love it!
