Puteri Beach, Beach in Tanjung Kling, Malacca, Malaysia

Puteri Beach is a 2.1 km shoreline in Tanjung Kling, in the Melaka Tengah District of Malacca, Malaysia, facing the Malacca Strait about 12 km from Melaka city. A road runs parallel to the sand, lined with hotels, food stalls, restaurants and a night market. In April 2021 a rock revetment was built along 100 metres of the beach to check coastal erosion.

The location was originally called Kundor Beach until the Malacca State Government redesigned it as a resort destination in the 1990s. This transformation marked a shift from its previous identity to a modern recreational area.

The beach serves as a meeting place where traditional fishing practices continue alongside tourism, allowing visitors to observe the daily rhythm of local seafaring communities. The interplay between local livelihoods and recreational use shapes how people interact with the shoreline.

Puteri Beach lies about 12 km from Melaka city in Tanjung Kling, reached by the road running parallel to the 2.1 km shoreline. Public toilets and a mosque (surau) stand among the food courts and hotels along that road. In April 2021 a rock revetment was laid over 100 m of the beach to check erosion, so parts of the sand are backed by stone.

A protective rock wall was built in 2021 to defend the shoreline against erosion from tidal forces and changing water conditions. This visible structure represents ongoing efforts to maintain this coastal area as environmental pressures increase.
