Morib Beach

Morib Beach (Pantai Morib) is a public sandy beach on the Strait of Malacca in Morib, Kuala Langat District, Selangor, about 50 km southwest of Kuala Lumpur. Stretching for several kilometres, it is one of Selangor's most accessible coastal recreation areas, known for its wide mudflats at low tide, sunset views, family picnic facilities, and its role as the landing site of British Indian forces in September 1945 at the end of World War II.

Visitors can expect a long, flat sandy and muddy shoreline facing the Strait of Malacca with wide exposed mudflats at low tide and shallow water at high tide. The beach area includes casuarina trees, picnic areas, food stalls, playgrounds and a promenade. There is a memorial marking the World War II landing site. The setting is casual and family-oriented, suitable for beach walks, photography, kite flying and sunset viewing rather than clear-water swimming.

Morib Beach is historically noted as the landing site of the 45th Indian Infantry Brigade on 9 September 1945 as part of Operation Zipper, the planned British reoccupation of Malaya at the end of World War II, following the surrender of Japan. A memorial near the beach commemorates this event.

A long-established seaside recreation area for residents of Selangor and the Klang Valley, Morib Beach serves as a popular weekend family picnic and leisure destination and is associated with local coastal fishing culture.
