The sentences are all correct, gramatically. I'm not sure, from these sentences, if Kuantan is just a beach or a place with a beach of the same name.

Vincent TeoSorry, I didn't make it clear! "Kuantan" is not a place, it is a capital or city. So, can I say:

(a) Kuantan is a famous beach in Malaysia. This sounds like Kuantan is the beach, not the city.

(b) Kuantan is famous because of the beach. Okay, but (c) is better

(c) Kuantan is famous for its beach. Yes!

(a) Kuantan is famous because of beach.

(b) This is the most famous beach in Kuantan

(a) "Kuantan is famous because of its beach."

Or you could say:

"Kuantan is famous for its beach."

The second is a little more natural to me in most situations.

(b) OK, but it may be better
