Pantai Bagan Lalang Bagan Lalang? A place ah? Where is that? Beach la! In Selangor? I know of Port Dickson but that's in Negri Sembilan. In Selangor - beach? Yes Morib. Then another name? - Gold Coast that is in Australia?. We got Gold Coast here too ah? Those are the words running wild in my mind when we started off our drive to the coast. In no time after driving for some time in a very uninhabited part of Selangor we saw the road signs at last. We are really there! We were at the beach in Bagan Lalang and giving the children a chance to accumulate their memories on this place as well. We of course, did check up at the Awani Resort, stopping at the compound only. Then I had a look around the place - Bagan Lalang. Having done some home work on the internet net for clues of the exciting things that we could have done in Bagan Lalang. Final results, apart from the wide nice beach and the should be tolerable seafood that would be available at night I don't detect anything else. Meaning - there is nothing in this area to amuse myself or to play with. For those having the place in mind, be mentally prepared before your book your stay in this vicinity. This is definitely a beautiful place to eat and sleep, real R&R destination with no crowd, no traffic and no distractions. Perhaps the one and only past time in the evening. Check out the fishermen catch for the day. Not the sort of place that you could look forward to while away your time with activities ? You do it your own way. I would advice you to do some deep thinking and find yourself before deciding on using this place.. Believe me in this overcrowded world and seemingly lost society, we need to pull our handbrake, think and take our bearing from time to time That deserted ambience and serenity - is what we all really need Part 1- Way to Pantai Bagan Lalang #1 Heading north along Coastal Highway 5 Lots of alien signage! Places we never heard of.
#2. Then came a tricky junction Why? To continue the journey along the coast to go north, we need to make a sharp right angle turn! The road ahead goes to the beach
$3. Nearer to junction Not so bad! False alarm. the way forward was so obvious as the two lane highway with double lines was very clear that we need to make a turn and not going straight into the single lane country road/ But the signboard in the picture above was not well made. Bagan Lalang - follow the right turn! Which is misleading. Country road B119 is right ahead
Part 2 - The Beach #4. We were on the beach! A watch tower! Not for coast guards nor life Guard????
#5. Large stretch of beach and very long coast line Facilities were there - the Rest shesd, well marked car parking areas.
#6. Complete Serenity Strong breeze, very deserted place - lots and lots of empty space. On land or on the sea bed
#7. The centre point - Official signage Gigantic Bagan Lalang @ Sepang - the sign says
#8. Yet another one This one smaller dimension- more manageable for picture taking and less intimitating.
#9. More picture please Yes unfortunately the pale tone chosen for the words "Bagan Lalang" would not come out well against the bright background of the open seas.
10. Sorry looks nice in real time only In the picture, the scene did not turn out as dramatic. The pale colour of the lettering BAGAN LALANG
#11. Trainee travelers Trying out their photo taking skills
12. The Awani Gold Coast Resort as background The Resort itself . Another big big place! In the distance background
#13. Strong perpetual sea breeze The show the effects of the breeze. Using the fallin sand that's being blown off track - playing rather!
#14. We found a new plaything - Making Jumping shots Mummy! Away from the other two younger guys
# 15. Solo shot For some one who do not like taking pictures
#16. More He did not know
18. See! He was mesmerized by the sands The children more interested in playing with the sands and running around
19. "Mudflats" as we termed it Nice beach, sandy base with very shallow water - water line recede easily exposing the seabed
20. The Long Beach Last frame on the group playing in the sand
Part 3 - Medan Ikan Bakar 21. Bagan Lalang Medan Selera - Sendandung Malam Seafood This is a popular stall but as the name implies, only open at night
22. Extreme end of Beach - HM Sri Bagan Sepang Right at the estuary - good view of the river mouth, Mangrove as well as the open sea of the Malacca Straits
23. The Sepoi Sepoi Cafe Rather high end by furnishing. Just by the coast and having a good view of the Awani Resort as well
Though not namt shops but they were all well set up and maintained. Meaning good patronage Part 4 - Awani Sepang Gold Coast Resort #24. The Entrance Right by the sea among the beach area. Left and right side the continuation of beaches
#25 One Souvenir shot Good one for remembrance
#26. Staff's motor bikes Could count those reporting in for work daily
27. Round about before the driveway
#28. For better understanding a real aerial shot Downloaded from Google
29 Drive way into the Foyer Some distance too
#30 Main entrance to Resort Very nice architecture
#31 View of Board walk to the chalets and Bungalows Too long - No one walked all using the services of schuttle
#32. View from the south Picture taken off the shoreline
#33. Chalets Taken at sea
#34. Chalets From Far
#35. Chalets View from the north
With that last parting shot we had covered 2 places from the far way corner of the Selangor State The usual question of sentiments! Would I be coming back or bringing friends over here again? The place is nice, the scene is beautiful. For a person who do not mind going for long drive, I would hesitate answering. The melancholy scene of belukar and open grassland along the way - it is a long lonely drive. I must say |
