Exploring the Stunning Pantai Teluk Bidara, Dungun

Our little sightseeing trip in Dungun, Terengganu continued with a stop at Pantai Teluk Bidara. Thankfully, we found an empty parking spot right in front of the public toilet and surau, so we could park super close. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from this beach… but the moment we arrived, I got super excited because the view was absolutely gorgeous! With perfect weather and a bright blue sky, the scenery looked even more stunning. The only slight downside was a bit of litter here and there — not too bad, though. I couldn’t wait to jump into the water even though the sun was blazing hot. Who cares if I get sunburnt, right? Haha. The beauty of the beach is enhanced by the rock formations and the hill at the far end. Underneath that hill, there’s a natural cave you can explore if the tide is low. But if it’s high tide, you need to be careful — you don’t want to get trapped inside. On the rocks, there are also natural “tidal pools” — small pools of seawater formed by the rocks. They’re perfect for just soaking and relaxing. We had so much fun hanging out in them, but you do have to watch the tide. Once the water rises, these pools can get deep pretty quickly, which can be dangerous if you can’t swim. #localguides
