Pantai Remis is a coastal town in Manjung, Perak, Malaysia. It is situated in between Simpang (near Taiping) and Sitiawan. Pantai Remis is a commercial district that serves as the heartland for the surrounding towns as far north as Terong on Highway A101, to the south to Segari on Highway 60; to the south-east to Kampong Baru Sungai Batu, Kampong Batu Dua Belas, Kampong Melayu and Changkat Keruing on Highway A12. Rubber, palm oil, rice, sugar cane, fishing are the major industries in this town.

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.
