Bagan Lalang, where is the Gold?

This weekend as my hubby mood is good, so I propose a trip to nearby visitor spot, like the beach etc, I had in my mind to get a sunset photo for my album so I choose the Bagan lalang beach as the spot to get a clear photo. My hubby said the name is actually Gold Coast, huh, Gold Coast not in Australia meh? Shy la, want to tell people we are going to Gold Coast, better tell is bagan lalang la. Since they are free seat in the car, i invite my parent to go together for them to fight off the boreness to look after baby all day inside a 9 storey apartment. Searching from google reveal that the distance is about an hour + journey to reach there, so i approximate the timing, and decide to depart at 4pm about time to reach there by 5.30pm to get the shoot. Everything went on smoothly, except when our car come to the roundabout for KLIA, we turn into the wrong direction which bring us further down to Banting road, that take us about extra another hours to reach only Morib Beach. Since already there, we just go for some walk along the beach, first impression is how come the beach got no beach, i mean, no white sand, just brick and water.... A lot of the people is fishing there, thinking it should be a nice fishing spot.Some camera man, took a very huge camera, look like professional photographer is standby there. Mmm, may be i come to the right site. But it is not sunset yet, the sun is still bright up in the sky. Further down the road, about 37km we reach Bagan Lalang beach, it is a nice white wide beach with flat sandy beach. Great spot for Sunset view. Why did they name it Gold Coast?Is it because the sand is golden color? I found out the answer is negative, it is just white and soft enough compare to those in Port dickson. May be because the sun is golden enough. It is so romantic if walking on the beach hand in hand with your love one.
I have fun taking photos with my Samsung camera, testing the effect, and images caught. After about 45 minutes of enjoying the seaview, we go on to try the seafood at the nearby floating restaurant.The food taste just nice, but they charges a price not equal to the local standard, i can get it in Subang at the almost same price. Not bad for a weekend getaway though.
