User reviews

"I witnessed the most amazing sunset at this beach! We made a detour here after visiting Bukit Lambir and it definitely exceeded our expectations before making our way back to Miri. The beach has golden sand and the atmosphere is peaceful and calming. The rock formations are stunning and add to the beauty of the surroundings."
