If you have decided to stay at TER, then it is a perfect place for you to go to the beach. Just few minutes walking from TER you will step on the white sandy silicon rich beach facing the open sea of the South China Sea. Now you can run with the wind along the beach or just have your sun bath there. But don't go there when the sun is right on your head because you might have sun burn then. It is really hot...not warm if I can tell you.
You can have a walk around the beach of the river near the estuary. Watch local fisherman catch crab or fishing from the river bank or just sit down on the sand and watch some youngsters canoeing in the river. But you are not allowed to swim when the tide is high. Many visitors from the surrounding area have been found dead because of strong under sea current during the high tide. Always refer to TER's management if you want to swim or have activities in sea. Being an open sea, it is unpredictable and may become treacherous at any time subject to strong wind from the sea. If you are not a good swimmer, please don't swim in open sea then.
Actually, Kuala Ibai has plenty of apartments, guests houses, home stays and houses for rent in addition to TER. All are charging reasonable rates for you and your family. So, even though you are not staying at TER, you still can have your morning or evening activities on the beach if you are staying at any of those places indicated above. You may have to put away your own schedule trip, the moment you arrived here. It is because you have plenty of choices when you have settled down here. You are in the middle of many places of interest. I am not talking about the good places that Kuala Ibai have by itself here, but about some other places of interest located nearby of Kuala Ibai which are also worthwhile to be visited.
Having enjoyed what Kuala Ibai have, you may decide either to drive to the north or to the south along the trunk road. If you go to the north, you can stop at Batu Buruk Recreational Park. You may have your meal here too, but the price is a bit expensive if compared with Kuala Ibai. This place also have beautiful sandy white beach, but a bit crowded at weekend. You may have some fast food here such as burgers, hot dogs and drinks from KFC or A&W.
Again, like the beach at Kuala Ibai you maybe strictly prohibited from swimming in sea here because of unpredictable weather and wind which may create strong wave and under water current. Never mind, if you really want to swim, Batu Buruk has a public swimming pool for sport and recreation. This Olympic size of swimming pool is equipped with 50m length and 8 lanes of swimming track plus 10m high diving board as well as spring board. They even have provided pools for kids which is isolated from the pool for adults before you can reach the main pool. You have to pay some charges if you want to swim here.
Now, let's go back to your place at Kuala Ibai. We go to the south, to a place call Chendering. Remember the Kuala Ibai River bank in opposite of Ibai Recreational Park you went yesterday? Well, the opposite site of the river is called Chendering. Park your car nearest to the beach there. Walk on the beach heading to the estuary of the river. You will surprise yourself to see the sand that you are walking yesterday is right in front of you, separated with just about 100m of estuary waters. The sand that you are standing now is a similar type of the one that you have stood on yesterday on the other side of the river. And, you can have a rest here on the white sandy beach with your own freedom.
