Klebang Beach is a beach in the town of Klebang, in the Malaysian state of Malacca. It faces directly to the Strait of Malacca at the end of Klebang Peninsula and is located next to the 1Malaysia Square.

Upeh Island is an islet located 600 metres off the coast of the town of Klebang in the Malaysian state of Malacca. It used to be one of the places in the state with the highest number of hawksbill turtle landings and nesting sites. But a series of ongoing land reclamation projects near the island cause rapid coastal erosion, degradation of its beach and a dwindling number of turtle landings at the islet for nesting and egg laying. A now-abandoned resort can be seen within the islet's dense forest.
