Merdeka Beach, Beach in Kuala Muda District, Malaysia
The shoreline of Merdeka Beach stretches along the Kedah coast, offering views of Gunung Jerai mountain and the bay of Teluk Nipah.
A British World War II pillbox from 1940 stands at the beach, constructed as a defensive position against potential Japanese landings during the war.
Local food vendors set up tables near the shore during sunset hours, creating a gathering space where visitors enjoy traditional Malaysian meals.
Facilities at Merdeka Beach include the 999 Baywatch Tower, public restrooms with bathroom slippers, showers, a children's playground, and parking areas.
The beach contains red mudstone formations with fossils dating back 450 million years, forming part of the 816-square-kilometer Jerai Geopark.
