Pengkalan Balak Beach (Malay: Pantai Pengkalan Balak) is a beach in the town of Masjid Tanah, to the north of Tanjung Bidara Beach in Alor Gajah District, in the Malaysian state of Malacca. It is one of the important landing sites of the hawksbill turtles in the state.[1] A turtle conservation and information centre was set up by the Department of Fisheries at fishing village Kampung Padang Kemunting to protect the species.[2] The beach features turtle sculptures, which were installed by Alor Gajah Municipal Council on 28 December 2020 with a cost of RM 20,000.[3][4] Many tourists frequented there for outdoor activities such as picnic, swimming, fishing and camping.[5]
