The Bayan Lepas Waterfall is a small waterfall just outside the town of Bayan Lepas. It is approached via a small lane that passes through the village houses of Bayan Lepas. The waterfall itself is located behind the Mutiara Perdana low-cost flats and the Lembaga Urusan Tabung Haji complex.

The Bayan Lepas Waterfall area has been landscaped and beautified by the local waterway department. A bridge is built across the cascades. The bank has also been paved so that vehicles can enter and make a U-turn to come out. Although the path is small, there is a bay for two cars to pass each other. On the way in, you pass by banana groves and a few jackfruit trees.

The waterfall itself has a height of about 5 meters. It empties into a pool where swimming is possible. A retaining wall is built to form the pool. From there, the water cascades down to the stream that continues on through the town of Bayan Lepas.
