Getting here: The beach of Teluk Paku is located at the end of Teluk Paku Trail.
Description: In general, the beach at Teluk Paku is not as beautiful as Teluk Pandan Kecil. The sands are brown in colour due to the mixture of mud sedimentation from the nearby mangrove forest. There are also natural debris in the form of dead tree branches and tiny rock shrapnel that require proper footwear when negotiating the beach area.
The highlight of the beach definitely goes to the unique rock formations that can be found in abundance. There is a feature rock formation in the shallow water that probably takes into the limelight, although the natural artwork can be considered rather ordinary. The more interesting formations are located further inland where the beach meets the forested zones.
There is one particular boulder rock with exposed layers of erosion that seems to pique the most interest from the visitors. As usual, the base of this boulder rock was carved into a thin foundation that support the bigger overhead outcrop. There are also a number of boulder rocks that exhibit linear erosion lines which I found to be a unique artwork.
Closer to the water edges, there are a number of small tide pools that are left behind when the water recedes at low tide. There are probably some tiny marine creatures in these water holes if you try to look closely.
