White sandy beach tucked in a cove with clear waters for snorkelling & granite rock formations.
Slide 1 of 8
This is a place where families come to have fun in the water. Although it was a bit annoying as seaweed washed up on the beach, it was nice to see the beach blending in well with the nearby rocks, and I also enjoyed a cup of coffee and coconut on the beach.
What a paradise! Came at 1.30pm on a Tuesday and there’s hardly anyone here. Many seafood restaurants, the beach is crystal clear and the sand powdery white. Corals and fish at a few feet away towards the left side of the main beach which is great for snorkelling. Jetski for hire is available but start off with a steep price before bargaining. Crowd start turning up in the late afternoon and mosquitos awake during sunset. Bring mosquito repellent. Zero sandfly. 😃
Beautiful white sand beach with big granits. Clean and calme (visit during the week and not in holiday season). Many delicious seafood restaurants
Tanjung Tinggi Beach in Bangka Belitung, Indonesia, is a picturesque tropical paradise with its crystal-clear waters and white sandy beaches. The unique granite boulders scattered along the shoreline add a stunning touch to the scenery. It's a perfect spot for relaxation and enjoying the beauty of nature.
Full of restaurants where you can eat pempek and drink coconut.
Enjoy this beach with coconut with sugar milk and feel’s fresh. You’ll found some big rock with a little bit adventure, you’ll see the great spectacular landscape sea and beach. Safe walk and take a picture because a big wind bring sea water to you. You can found traditional restaurant in near this beach.
Amazing view!!!!!! One recommended place to visit in Belitung. We rent a rubber boat with only 150k until you’re tired. Gave us more flexibility to explore the area to find a beat sunset spots. One of my favorite location for sunsets. I really love it!
A popular local beach you must visit. I visited Belitung Island for two times and i have already visited Tanjung Tinggi Beach for two times too. The color water is blue and very clear. The waves are not big, so it's safe to swim here.

Island

This small, peaceful island offers sandy beaches, clear waters popular with divers & a lighthouse.
Slide 1 of 8
The name came from the local, because they can't pronouns 'light house'. The light house was there since 19th century.
I'll recommend people who visit belitung to come to this island because : The white sand, clear blue ocean, palm tree, are the perfect combination for you to refresh your eyes. There is a lighthouse of course, a small canteen which perfect to order hot noodle after diving/snorkeling, ask your guide to find the best spot around the island Of course there is public toilet, and believe me it is clean. You can take a lot of instragamable corner
Cute little island. We visited here on an island hopping tour. Its very picturesque! There are little stalls to purchase food and drinks. The major downside is all the insects they have on the island! There are huge flies everywhere!
Very beautiful island!!! will never regret coming to this island the island is beautiful, clean as far as the eye can see only beautiful white sand. there is also a lighthouse there. come on to the Lengkuas Island!!!!
One of the most visited islet off the Belitung, popular for the iconic 19th Century Light House. It’s a very small islet, located around 30 Min boat ride from Tg Kelayang beach in North West Balitung. Light houre was built in 1880s and approx 18 floor tall. The view from the top was mesmerizing. But lately it is only allowed to go up to 3rd floor, practically taking away to soak into breathtaking view from the top.. hope they open the access again to the top..
Langkuas island is a small island with a colonial lighthouse off the coast of Belitung, Indonesia. You can go to Lengkuas Island from Tanjung Kelayang beach by renting a fishing boat. The combination of perfect white sand and palm trees, giant granite boulders, and calm blue water makes Lengkuas island one of the best things to see on Belitung island. It is most suitable for swiming and snorkling. I tried snorkeling around Langkuas beach. Many coral reefs are as beautiful as the fish. The beach is clean, clear, quiet. Suitable for healing and escaping from worldly crowds. You can go up to the lighthouse and look around the beach from above. The trip to Bangka Belitung by plane from Jakarta to Pangkal Pinang takes 1 hour and 15 minutes at a cost of around 1 million. We love this place
A beautiful little island which has an old lighthouse.. You can also find a small food vendor which sells instant cup noodles, drinks and coconut near that lighthouse. But the main attraction here of course the beautiful beach that is clean and the water is so clear you can see your feet under that water. The blue sky, the turqouise beach and the palm trees everywhere will be a very wonderful additions to your pictures collection. Not to mention beginners can go snorkeling here too.. Take notes though that you'd better come in the middle of the year when it is not rainy season. Otherwise your island hopping tour will have quite strong wind and cloudy sky. And please be careful not to wander t carelessly in the tall grasses or behind the secluded rocks. Pay extra attention and mind your surrounding when you're exploring the island without a local. because I personally spotted a quite big biawak there.. Just stay calm and don't make a ruckus that can disturb the animal..
Nice Island At Belitung. Got To Visit All Of Those
Kaolin Lake

Nature & Parks
Bodies of Water
Once a mining area, this scenic lake is known for its bright blue waters & white mineral deposits.
Slide 1 of 8
Beautiful sight with different shades of blue in each pool. Very white kaolin “sand”. However accessible area quite small & majority of area not open for public. Good sunrise view if not cloudy. Water looks better during midday (strong sun)
Visited on December, but the water of the lake somewhat dried and there's nothing to see. There's no entrance fee, you can just park your vehicle and take a few quick shots with the lake as background.
The lake was empty when I arrived there (mid october). Just a few escavators taking away the sand there. And it was an open space, so the sun was super hot while the light was bounced back to our eyes because the whole place is white. The local said it will only be filled with water on December.
There should be special lesson related to this visit because if we are expecting the beauty of the place we'll regret it. It's dry and hot. You've got to be ready with a lot of miner water. Don't expect you can buy some food also. Thirty minutes staying there is a bit too long. Students above 12 years old are suitable to see and visit this place. It's not really tourist destination place.
There is really nothing to see, just giant mountain of dunes attracting me
Ok, this is a great coloured lake, within an industrial wasteland. However the color is rather greenish. There is a barrier to avoid people going close to the lake, but you can cross it easily for closer shots (and nobody checks) Free entrance.
The view is really amazing. But you just can see it or take a picture from the edge. You can not enter the site. From the food vendor I met, she told me that the lake is for mining purpose instead of tourism permission. So this site is just available to take a picture or enjoy the site from the outside for the tourist.
Kaolin. Such an interesting geographical material on Belitung. I wonder about this place. The water colors in blue and green. The Kaolin itself is the material for ceramic and cosmetics. The pile of sands that create mountainious shape is sand. It such a wonderful place to enjoy the unique place in Belitung island.

Definisi lost in books 😍😍 The best museum that we visit I like book so much and find the big library in here. You know the smell of book? The smell around you when you walking, what a lovely🤩
Andrea Hirata’s Word Museum is Indonesia’s first literary museum, dedicated to Laskar Pelangi and the author’s works. Filled with inspiring quotes, photos, and artistic installations, it blends literature, art, and Belitung’s culture. A must-visit for literature lovers and photo enthusiasts.
It was only me during the visit so when I wandered around, it was a bit spooky. Good little private museum by Andrea Hirata.
The simplest museum I have ever visited. It's not perfect but it's worth seeing to have more ideas. It's all about books. The collection is not a lot, we can contribute.
Idr 50k entrance and we get a free book. Magical place how on earth a nowhere place got a beautiful museum. Turns out this village is the origin place of the famous writer mr Andrea hirata. The best part is that i got a book signed by mr hirata himself. Thanks sir.
A sanctuary of stories, tucked away in quiet Belitung. Museum Kata Andrea Hirata isn’t just a space — it’s a feeling. Walls dressed in color, words that whisper dreams, and echoes of Laskar Pelangi in every corner. It’s where literature breathes, and hope lingers. Come for the nostalgia, stay for the soul.
Has unique interior, but some books not ready to be read (still have its plastic packaging).
Unfortunately when I came there the museum is closed

The Replica of SD Muhammadiyah in Belitong is a nostalgic journey back to the setting of 'Laskar Pelangi'. It beautifully recreates the humble, rustic school from the novel, offering visitors a tangible piece of literary history. Great for fans of the book or anyone interested in educational heritage, though the experience could be enhanced with more interactive elements or detailed historical context
One of the places u must visit when u go to Belitung with an entrance ticket that only costs 5k! But when i went there at 11am the weather was very HOT, using sunscreen is a musttt!
The Laskar Pelangi School Replica resembles the humble school from the famous novel and film by Andrea Hirata. Located in Gantong, it lets visitors experience the atmosphere of a rural Belitung classroom. An iconic photo spot and a reminder of the importance of education and dreams.
It was sunny and hot when We visited the place On Friday 7 June 2024. There were not many visitors or local tourists. Our students are enthusiastically sit on the chairs in the classroom too feel the circumstances. Too feel the DREAM. It takes us about one and half hour to reach the location. The road is ok and it can be passed even by a bus. The parking space is quite big and some people sell food and souvenirs at the side of the entrance gate. The ticket is affordable. It's only Rp. 5.000. I believe that you don't want to stay there more than one hour. It does not have convenient place to have a rest.
A replica of a famous movie's setting, depicting a primary school. Anyone who had experienced similar kind of school experience would appreciate it. Watch the movie, too. It's great with good soundtrack. It's mostly a nostalgic place. Please don't go there and ruin it for insta.
clean, and beautiful place, distance from tanjung pandan around 1 hour and 20 mins
Great place to visit when you are in Belitung
This place is based on the cinema movie named Laskar Pelangi. About elementary school in gantoeng. The movie is quite famous in the 2005. There's an abandoned school here for taking pictures. The place is not well preserve many of the decorations are missing.

Scenic beach with white sand & boat rentals for water activities & trips to offshore islands.
Slide 1 of 8
Tanjung Kelayang Beach is the main tourist attraction in northwest belitung because is the starting point of the island hoping tour to the nearby island such as Lengkuas Island,Kepayang Island and Sailing rock(batu berlayar) island. I suggest you wear a sun screen when you come here esp if you arrive here after 9 am brcause the temparature might rise to 38or 39 degree.
The best beach and perfect snorkeling spot specially for tourist. Not as crowded as Bali, thus you can really enjoy the view, the seafood and the water activity more.. really recommended and will definitely be our first choice for next holiday!
Things have been really quiet since Covid destroyed international flight paths. If you are visiting as a tourist, I highly recommend renting a boat for a full day to go island hopping. An extra trick, ask the boat captains to take you to their snorkelling spots that are not at the nearby islands. You'll get a nice ride further out to more untouched locations. Be carefully or the corals, and happy snorkelling!
A perfect place to see sunrise (it's start around 5-5:40am). Not much tourists, quiet and beautiful beach! 👍
Quiet and clean beach. Big granite is the main attraction besides white sands with calm wave unlike bali beaches. In the morning i went island hopping to more than 3 small islands and finished off with snorkling around lengkuas island. Definitely worth a quick escape in the weekend
Absolutely stunning beach, quiet and unspoiled. Very peaceful, not many tourists.
We spent 2 hours only for having lunch and relax after full time morning meeting. We really enjoyed the seafood served to us, not forget trying coconut. And the view is awesome !
the right place to bring a family outing. there is a playground for children, the sand is white and clean, you can also rent a boat if you want to enjoy the blue sea with clear sky.

It's a good place for spending time in the afternoon here, watching for sunset. When I visited this place on a Sunday afternoon, it was loaded by people. But it's worth it, caused the sunset here is really beautiful and also the ambiance. The entrance ticket is very affordable. Around the beach, there are some restaurants.
Nice place for morning or afternoon sport! Near hotel Golden Tulip and walkable. You also can rent the bike from the hotel for a tour at this beach. They have several coffee shop and nice to spend at this place in the afternoon.
Closest beach to tanjung pandan, decent but has beautiful sunset ✨
Could be better, while it close to the city center the beach a bit dirty. It has some restaurants and kids venue, however I think Tanjung Kelayang and Tanjung Tinggi is way better
Though it's located in the city I'm amazed with the cleanliness. Beautiful beach.
It’s a nice beach for everyone though no one swims in this place. Beach goers mainly come here for strolling, enjoying sunset, or hanging out in nearby cafes and food stall.
Such a lovely place good for sunset viewing. There is an entrance fee but the place is not well maintained. There are trashes everywhere.
The best place for Sunset. Very beautiful!

Mostly live by fisherman (Kampung Nelayan) but you can find an Inn such as Cottage with small swimming pool around. Nice place to take picture while sunrise and sunset. I suggest as visitor please kindly keep clean the coast from garbages. It provides some trash bin. Please be preapre enough cash because no ATM & limited EDC machine to swipe CC or Debit Card to make transactions
The view is beautiful and the beach also has some reef if you move around a bit. However it's bit dirty
To get in to this beach, you must pay for 10k rupiahs/person, which you can change the ticket with free mineral water or coffe/tea in the restaurant inside. When I visited this place, it's no other visitors, so I felt like having my private beach. It's a nice beach with the wave is calm, so it's safe to swim here.
Good place, good coffee, need to pay entrance fee only 10thousand rupiahs which is reasonable (got free bottled water)
Very comfortable beach in Belitong Island. You can enjoy the moment of sunset with magnificent view. The beach is very smooth wave, not touristic and peaceful.
perfect spot to capture sunset while playing on the tree swing 💕
The fried banana in the resto here is super! There some cotage in the area
Spent sunset here with my beloved one. It was a beautiful one. A nice beach.

A beautiful island that we visited during our island hopping tour. Unlike shown on the pictures displayed here, there is no lighthouse on this island. It can be found on another island a bit further. This one still has a lot to offer, and is perfect to have lunch with a beautiful view. We did a tour of the island and discovered some hidden gems where we could swim and relax. We had an amazing time there. I wish we could have stayed longer.
The main attraction everyone wants to see, the lighthouse, was closed when I visited. The beach and surronding small island are amazing to snorkel and just visit. However some of the corals are dead, so please be careful if you decide to go snorkeling, I would really like to keep this place preserved.
Very beautiful and worth the stop during the island hopping day 👍
The best seafood is here. Fresh, tasty, big and the best scenery from horizon line of the beach with white sand and blue sky. The resto is near the beach, you can playing water, take photos or just walking at the beach. Lost in nature... woow I must go to there soon.
Another perfect island hopping destination. Great restaurant. Nice place to chill under the palm trees and have some delicious shrimps or satay, fresh coconut and free tea
Mesmerized by the view 😍😍 Love banget, surely will b back ♥️
My favorite island of them all, simply stunning! Stayed there for few nights, saw turtle laying eggs in the sand, too!
All tourist boat in belitung will bring you to this island, Like mandatory, for lunch. Minimun package IDR 20,000/pax, free toilet, free tea, free coffe. For meal will be different. The beach is good for swimming.

An authentic Belitung traditional house. It's elevated off ground, made from wood, complete with displays of Belitung other history and culture. The place is clean and well kept, it's nice and airy too. We spent sometime there looking and sitting around, just like enjoying ourselves at home. There are some caretakers in the house. We had a bit of problem with our vehicle and they were ready to help us even though they didn't need to. The place is also free to enter, which is great because it's still well-maintained.
We can see and feel the traditional house of belitong. It's strategically located and it can be seen from the main road. On certain occasions, we can have traditional food as well. It's well preserved.
This is a cultural introduction location that is quite easy to reach and cheap. There is no ticket price benchmark where we pay sincerely for maintenance and operational costs. Visitors are allowed to take pictures using several typical Belitung properties, the tour guide also explains it straightforwardly. Unfortunately this place is quite old and the property used is not refurbished and is not well maintained.
Traditional House Belitung showcases authentic Belitung architecture complete with traditional furniture and ornaments. Visitors can learn about the island’s history, culture, and past daily life. A great photo spot and an enriching cultural experience.
Free entrance. Parking is free. Not much too see. Local people are super friendly
Interesting house to visit. Not sure how traditional as the superintendent lived here. It is constructed with all wood. Cooking area seperate from house. On stilts because of critters not flood. Many old photos with Dutch caption. Free to enter.
Cool, but could be done better. Some small signs with information in Indonesian/English would add a lot of value to this place. Also, why not make postcards of the photographs, some of the pictures are great. I wish there was more context, as an outsider I first drove past the building twice as there is no signage. Secondly, once inside you feel like this could be much more interesting if context or information was given.
This place is your one-stop place for learning the culture and history of Belitung. It contains traditional clothing, photos, foods, and many more. There aren't many staffs here though, and many items lack description in English so it might be hard to understand for non-Indonesian speakers.

My three kids and family got memorable holiday here! They love the island so much, and want to come back for more. The ocean is safe for kids to play water sport, the beach has very soft white sand and there are millions of pretty shells that the kids can collect for whole day. Note: there is a pretty legit coffee shop at the back of the island. The beach and ocean are different compared to other places in Indonesia, please do not expect pretty corals and fishes. They have none, but we can get other great activities there. Most importantly, The foods are great! Best foods we had in Belitung. We stayed in the beautiful water villa, during low tide, we can explore the dried ocean to find trapped sea creatures like seastars and crabs.
Such a beautiful and peaceful private island! Everything was super clean and well taken care of. The local guide was really nice, helpful, and polite, made the whole experience even better. There’s a small souvenir shop that saved us when our clothes got wet. Prices were surprisingly affordable too! A lot of the facilities are already included in the package, and anything extra didn’t cost much at all. The food that came with the package was seriously so good! Lots of variety too (grilled fish, pepes, crispy fried squid, stir-fried kangkung, and meatball soup). Everything tasted fresh and super tasty! Too bad we couldn’t see the mangroves, turns out they’re only around from October to January. So if that’s on your list, plan your trip around those months. All in all, it was a relaxing and enjoyable getaway. Would totally come back!
Leebong has a special place in my heart ❤️ Really love this resort, surround by good vibes is always when in leebong island, very kind staff and crew, very good food especially the seafood is very have the best taste ever !! Really enjoying time in leebong. If you feel bored in your activity please come and visit this place… really peacefull ❤️❤️
Incredibly beautiful, well-maintained island and accommodation. We had our yoga retreat here and it was such an amazing experience because of the unfaltering service of the hotel crew, the management, and the picturesque views! I stayed at the floating villa and it’s the best decision. Clean room, nice bed, and the most wonderful sunrise view. The food is also topnotch. Fresh, cooked and spiced to perfection. I would definitely come back. There are a lot of water activities too. Highly recommended.
Not worth the travel. Beaches were mediocre at best. Copped some insecticides from their daily fogging whilst in the shower, which we weren’t informed of. Apparently the staff themselves weren’t obliged to put on PPEs. Overall poor HSW compliance.
Calling this island my home in Indonesia. The villas are comfortable and strategically situated to areas that give you your own piece of this paradise. But what I love most about it is the service - the staff love what they are doing and you can feel it in every single interaction with them. Definitely an island that I want to visit all the time.
Located outside Belitung, we had great experience there. We rented a big cottage, ten of us, two rooms below, one big room upstairs. It was nice as we got to feel the tranquility of the island. There were many activities we could do, including kayaking, SUP (Stand Up Paddle), volleyball, cycling, swimming, sunrise watching, board games, and exploring. When the tide was low, I observed quite a lot of marine life like crabs, mudskippers, tiny fishes. The food was great and delicious, we always looked forward the meal because it was easy to get hungry when you were near the sea! A combination of three generation, some of us played volleyball, and some just enjoyed sitting by the ocean. We went for kayaking but too bad there were only two kayaks, and one was dominated by the kids of the owner of the island, or or we were told. They monopolized it so we had no choice and only shared one kayak and play with SUP. The staff were great, they taught us and we were allowed to play as long as we wanted. The day after we went for the sunrise watching, taking a short walk to another part of the island, and it was gorgeous. There were plenty of areas to walk and we practically had the place for ourselves. Awesome, Leebong is recommended for holiday, but please be a respectful tourist and take care of the place.
It so amazing it my dreams one day I will go there

This is one of Tanjungpandan landmarks. A nice place to take photographs when you are in Belitung, especialy when you visit Tanjungpandan — the capital of Belitung. The uncrowded streets make it easier, just becareful when you cross the intersection though. Satam is a typical Indonesian rock found on the Belitung island. A monument is established in the middle of this square, with Satam rock replica on top of it. There is another landmark across it, a large billboard with marking phrases 'Titik Nol KM' and 'Zero Point' written on it. You can also find Belitung special snacks and cuisine stalls near it.
Such a nice place to louging after jogging! Recommend
Satam square, one of the Belitong’s iconic
Monumental place. The zero kilometer of belitong starts here. Morning is the best time to take pictures
Satam Stone is a typical Indonesian rock found on the island of Belitung. This stone is black and has distinctive veins. This rock is formed from the results of natural processes on the reaction of a meteor collision with a layer of earth containing high lead millions of years ago. The meteorite fragments are scattered throughout the world. Indonesia is one of them, precisely on the Belitung Island. When it falls on the land, this meteor reacts and forming a black stone which is then called Batu Satam. Batu Satam is a rare rock that is hunted by stone collectors around the world. In Belitung itself, this satam stone has been made an icon of the capital of Belitung, Tanjung Pandan.
One of the central place in Tanjung Pandan, and with a lot of eateries nearby like mie belitong and many coffee shops. Good place to hang out at night

Beautiful vihara. Located at the height of the hill in the Burong Mandi tourism village area. Ample parking space. There are public toilets, only they are not clean and the lights don't turn on.
Very serene and nice temple. Please just don't do tiktok videos here, it's disrespectful. It's a religious place, have some respect for its serenity and peace.
This place is a temple for Buddhist. The Goddest of Kwan Im. The place is quite large with a very big statue of Kwan I'm Godess. There's also 12 zodiac statues. The temple located below sections. The place is quite near the beach. This place can also be a good spot for taking pictures if your aren't a Buddhist.
Vihara Dewi Kwan Im is located on the East Belitung. There are stairs with a dragon relief where peoples flip coins and pray. At the end of the stairs, there is a big Dewi Kwan Im statue. You can pray or take a picture, it's really a beautiful scenery up there. This place is really clean and have parking lot at the bottom of the stairs, so you don't have to walk so far. You should go there at morning or afternoon. Because of you go there at evening, the sun will be set behind the Dewi Kwan Im Statue.
The place is very clean, has beautiful and peaceful surrounding with big trees. Very nice to visit for pray, sightseeing or taking pictures.

The museum have a really deep information and history about belitung and Indonesia, and you can ask for a guide to explain the collection, but sadly the zoo isn't well maintained. Despite the zoo is in a bad condition, this place worth 5 stars considering the ticket price and also for its museum collection, anyone who interested in geology can enjoy the collection to the fullest. Also, the zoo is the place where the huge crocodile in "Rainbow Troops" movie is taken care of.
The museum was as good as a small museum in a small city can get, but the zoo was so... sad to see. The cages are all too small, and they have a newborn monkey that i dont think is cared for appropriately. On the flip side, there are a lot of kitties!
This is a cheap museum to visit. 3k rupiah per person. It has an impressive collection of artefacts from lost ships around the island, and a good collection of minerals. Explanations are mainly in Indonesian. In the backyard there is a zoo, but it is in a terrible state, and a real pity for the animals which are left there. Shame.
It's a local musium. You can learn this island history from the exhibitions. The big 4m crocodile in the out side cage is alive. It's value to see.
At first, i didn't expecting too much but once you enter the museum, there are a lot of exciting things that you could find. If you are an international or local (outside belitung) tourist, you'll be very interested to see some of the origin animals, cultural history of the city from colonialism era and even the most interesting part for me was to see some of the artefacts from million years ago, like what u see in these picture. I heard from the guide that the museum also still attractive from local belitung people where they used to bring their family to enjoy some family time. Additional info: The toilets are clean, overall place also clean and the collections are well mantained
This place tells us the story about Belitung from A to Z. They have two large crocodile which were used on the Laskar Pelangi Movie. They also have a collection of minerals dugged in Belitung. They also have a collection of ancient chinese porcelains left up by historical wanderers. This is place to learn about how malayans and chinese mixed up well.
Museum Tanjung Pandan have collection of treasure from ships that sank from a few centuries ago. As well as the Tanjung Pandan war weapons collection. The museum is well maintained and behind the museum there is a zoo. Unfortunately the zoo collection is very small and not well maintained
The museum is housed in the main building on just 1 floor and the zoo is at the back of the main building in the outdoor garden. The musuem has lots of pottery and mineral samples from the mining industry. Outside in the garden is just a pair of deer, 3 crocodiles, 2 squirrels, and many birds of various types. Entrance fee is Rp 3,000 per person or about SGD 30cents.

The view was great eventhough you have to travel far distances to get to here. It gets really quiet on working days. You can climb up the rocks to get cool pictures. There are better beaches if you want to swim
Good short trip for gathering with family. We walking follow the direction then u can see a beautiful hole. **Needed to climb over a short way.
This used to be a nice place. Now it is dirty and negleted. It could be nice again if it is cleaned up. You can eat fish and crab at the warung close to the beach. It was very nice food. The warung is basic. Friendly owner. The pantai is owned by an International resort. They should be more responsibel to keep the place clean.
Beautiful beach but too many trash, almost unattended, minimum wave, perfect for swimming but it was near a mine or construction site.
Good, but remote beach (60-70km from tanjung pandan). No entrance fee (August 2019), but everything seems to be ready to change. White sand beach between the large boulders typical for this island. Mind that there is a lot of rubbish around, spreading from the parking spot.
It's really a long way to get here, you have to drive for about 2 hours but not much traffic, which is good (depends on time of your visit, there are certain times that it will be full of visitors). Finally, you'll get this beautiful view of the blue ocean. It's worth!
Definitely the best beach in Belitong mainland. I love to see how the granite rock formation lays in its beach, how turqoise its water color is, and how spectacular view from the top giant granite rock is, which is climbable for everyone even for my 60 years old mother. One thing that annoyed me was the trash that was everywhere along the beach land. I doubt how the local manage the entrance fee for visitor, since the beach owns so much potential to develop in becoming the world class beachtown destination.
It was like an abandoned beach. It has great view, especially from the rocks. But unfortunately there is a lot of garbage that seems to have not been cleaned for a long time.
