Puteri Beach (Malay: Pantai Puteri), formerly Kundor Beach (Malay: Pantai Kundor) is a 2.1 km long beach in the town of Tanjung Kling, in the Malaysian State of Malacca.[1] [2] It has been developed as a resort beach by the Malacca State Government since the 1990s. Various activities are found around the beach, ranging from fishing, camping as well as work place for fishermen. It also has night markets, hotels, food stalls and restaurants stretching along the road in parallel with the shore line.[3] [4] In April 2021, rock revetment was constructed along the beach to save it from coastal erosion which has spread over a length of 100 meters.[5]
