established in Taman Bintang (Star Garden), Pantai Remis.
The town was founded in the late 1940s. The name is probably derived from a type of Sea shell - Remis,
which is a greyish shell and is easily crushed.It lies on the estuary
of the Bruas River, it is believed that the once prosperous Hindu
Kingdom of Gangga Negara's
Port of entry was here. The Bruas tree which is no longer found in
Bruas is still growing in Pengkalan Bahru, a sleepy village 5 km from
Pantai Remis.
It is also the location of the Third Beach Tin mine landslide filmed in 1993. Starting from Pantai Remis, stretching southward, the coast has up to seven beautiful sandy beaches before The Seventh Beach
Damai Laut Resort. Second Beach (Teluk Akuan) is frequented by the
locals via fishing boats. The Third Beach is the exact location of the
landslide. The Forth Beach was a beautiful beach and had been
extensively mined and later transformed into an independently run power
genaration plant. The plant is operated by Malakoff. The Fifth Beach
survived from the onslaught of local tin mining industry and was saved
by two government related projects built at the beach front.
