Pahang Coast

The Pahang coast faces the South China Sea on the eastern side of the Malay Peninsula. The Pahang River crosses a broad lowland before reaching its estuary at Kuala Pahang, while other rivers enter the sea farther along the shore. Mangroves grow at river mouths, where fresh and salt water meet. The northeast monsoon brings heavy rain and strong seas to this coast, linking the seasonal floods inland with changing conditions offshore.
