Morib Beach, Beach in Banting, Malaysia

Morib Beach is a sandy shore in Banting, Selangor, running along the Strait of Malacca and backed by a walkway lined with casuarina trees. Along this walkway you can find food stalls, restrooms, and a prayer room that make a longer stay comfortable.

Morib Beach was one of the first landing points on the west coast of the Malay Peninsula for British and Indian Army liberation forces at the end of World War II in 1945. The landing followed Japan's surrender and formed part of the Allied return to Malaya.

Morib gives its name to a state constituency represented in the Selangor State Legislative Assembly since 1959. Nearby Kampung Kancung Darat is the birthplace of the children of Dato' Haji Sidek, a national badminton champion. In Kampong Sungai Lang and Kancung, small businesses make traditional snacks such as banana, tapioca, sweet potato and taro chips.

There is plenty of parking near the main area, and the beach is easy to reach by road. Weekends draw more visitors, so arriving in the morning gives you more space along the shore.
