Port Lepak Beach

Port Lepak Beach is a serene coastal destination nestled in the Yan district of Kedah, near the fishing village of Singkir Laut in Merbok. Managed under the National Coastal Landscape, this beach offers stunning views of the Merbok Mangrove Reserve with opportunities for tranquil beachside activities. The Port Lepak area is well known as a fishing boat hotspot, drawing anglers from across northern Peninsular Malaysia to its productive waters. Visitors can enjoy peaceful village atmosphere while strolling along the shoreline, watching beautiful sunsets over the sea horizon. Still largely undeveloped for mass tourism, Port Lepak suits travellers seeking a quiet and authentic coastal experience away from busier resort beaches. Access to the beach is straightforward via local roads from Merbok, with parking available near the jetty area. Visitors are advised to bring their own supplies as food and beverage options on-site are limited. Bird and wildlife enthusiasts can explore the nearby mangrove wetlands for enriching nature-watching experiences. The best times to visit are during early morning or late afternoon to avoid the strongest midday sun and enjoy more comfortable weather conditions.
