Kedah's Pantai Merdeka

Pantai Merdeka is one of Kedah's few mainland sandy beach
and is a major attraction during the weekends and holiday seasons.
It is beside the Merbok Rivermouth and about 30km from Sungai Petani town.




















An  abandoned jetty at the beach.







An old British World War 2 pillbox build in 1940 on the beach front
together with another on the other side of the Merbok River mouth
at Tanjung Dawai which have long sank into the river
was meant to stop the invading Japanese troops.
but it never really saw action..
