1. Kelanang Beach in Banting
Kelanang Beach is just five minutes drive from the famed Morib Beach (Pantai Morib). I have no idea why one stretch of beach is more famous than the other when both are extensions of one another.
2. not pristine like beaches in the East Coast
The fact that this is the Strait of Malacca means that the water here is murky and the sand is rougher compared to East Coast beaches. However, it is still a place that locals love to while away their time during the day. Probably it is because of the shade provided by the huge trees. On the other hand, night time would see these locals at Morib Beach.
3. three-time venue for GP Joran fishing competitions
Kelanang Beach is a popular fishing spot and in fact, the number one fishing competition, GP Joran organised by Berita Harian, had hosted their leg competitions here for three times. This itself tells how rich marine life is in this stretch of the water.
4. cleaning up the sea
When I was there recently, it was heartening to see a a few guys trying to clean up the beach. One guy even swam out into the sea and fished out a large banner. Thank god for people like him!

Sad to see some people treating our beaches and rivers as their personal rubbish dump. More of us should join in the effort to preserve nature's beauty
