If you are able to wake up early on a clear weather day, grab a cab to take you to Klebang Beach by 6.15a.m. It's still a beach frequented by locals and not as touristy as Kuta Beach, Bali.
Most of Malacca seaside especially Melaka Raya and Kota Laksamana areas are reclaimed land but this beach is only reclaimed by the Malacca government when the waters starts rising. However, avoid jumping into the waters as the nearby housing estates drains their wastage to the Straits of Malacca.
The Original Klebang Coconut Shake opens about 11.00 a.m. daily. So, tell your hired cabby your intended itinerary and he has to check for you whether this famous family business stall will be opened. I do not know the cabby rates as I am local, but I'd charge any of you RM200-300 (near USD100) for making me wake up in the wee hours of dawn and wait for you till you have your lunch.

Tanjung Bidara Beach
Sorry, I couldn't find any English-written blogs on the beach, I'll update the post when I visit there again.
###################################### FAQ #########################################
Q: I've visited 2 museums and tried 5 eateries from morning till now, 5.30pm. Is there any beach volleyball match for me to join or watch since Malacca is a coastal city?
A: As it is a predominantly Malay Muslim state, beach sports is not encouraged here except swimming fully clothed. To do such an activity, you would have to sit a 10 hours night bus from Malacca to Terengganu and sit a speed boat to Pulau Redang, an island where one is allowed to wear bikinis 24 hours as it is off the Malay Muslim mainland. There are hotels which hire staff that can play beach volleyball
Q: If there is no beach volleyball, is there any parasailing or jet ski?
A: None. To do such activities, you will have to take a bus or taxi to Kuala Lumpur and take a flight to Penang plus book a hotel by the beach.
Q: I think the Malacca City blog has a prejudice against Malay Muslims in Malaysia. Bali, Indonesia has a beach with many sports activities.
A: Bali is a city with Hindu majority population in a Muslim populous country.
