The usually bustling Teluk Cempedak beach here is eerily deserted these days with no visitors and empty parking bays.
The popular beach will usually be brimming with visitors, with large crowds during the weekends and school holidays.
A restaurant helper said the beach area has never been this quiet. The three fast food outlets in the vicinity were always packed to the brim with patrons. "Business has been slow for the fast food outlets. There were some visitors during the first two days but now people have chosen to stay away," he said, adding the Kuantan Municipal Council enforcement team regularly patrolled the area.
