Pantai Redang Sekinchan 12 Dec 2014

It is not our first time to Sekinchan. It was just a sudden idea that from Daddy – we should go Sekinchan and may be stay a night there.

This time around, we did not manage to see the golden yellow paddy fields, because almost all the paddy fields were harvested and reaped.

We were a bit of disappointed, thus we did not go for the Paddy Processing Factory

Instead we went for the famous mangoes fruit stall at the Village Site A to have some fresh mangoes and other fruits.

This time around, we spent most of our time at Pantai Redang. It is actually just located further in from the hotel which we stayed. It is not suitable for swimming but a lot of people do come here in the afternoon or evening for a relaxing moments.

Once reached the beach, immediately we can see the big sign ‘我爱适耕庄’, which means ‘I love Sekinchan’ in Mandarin. It is a poplar spot for taking photo.

Further to it, there is a giant anchor and a fishing boat display. There are a few tree houses along the beach built by the locals by using reusable items such as fishing nets, fishing ropes and wood from old fishing boats.

Kids really get thrilled playing in the tree houses and swinging under the trees in self-made swings from old chairs and fishing ropes.

And, guess what? The tree houses lazy bed which made by from the old fishing net are the ones so popular and most of the visitors or tourists want to have a sit or short nap once you are here.

Enjoying cooling sea breeze and beautiful sunset while lying in the tree house fishing net is a simple yet unforgettable pleasure. We too, also ‘lazy lying’ on the tree house netting… Hahaha…

The windy beach is a great place to fly kite. There are stalls selling kites at the beach. We did not buy the kites, instead we played the soap bubbles.

It was really fun watching both Annabelle and Issac playing the soap bubbles with the strong wind. They were so happy watching the bubbles and others kids flying the kites too.

Apart from these, here, you can find stalls selling drinks, local snacks, fruits, ice cream and fresh oyster! Unfortunately, today the fresh oyster stall did not open, so I just sitting at a stall selling Rojak and watching over the children from far.

The temple not far from the beach with a wishing tree with entangled red ribbons really an eye catching one. I did not take the photos of the said tree as I do not believe by throwing the red ribbon with tied a knot with a coin would make the wishes come true. But it is amazing that so many people did it, may be next trip I should snap a photo of the tree itself though.

There is a pebbles road along the right side of the coast which is suitable for bicycles rides and leisure stroll. Eventually, I only knew that this road actually can lead to the back of the hotel which we were staying.
